I thought that the BBUS can trigger the alrm if there is a short in the unit of the +12 v line to earth... I stripped the unit now - it was completely toast and could easily have been causing a short. Lots of reports of folks disconnecting these and their problems going away... But you could...

My Defender alarm was playing up in the last couple of weeks... Whilst parked/ locked outside the house did a few blips on the horn for 24 hours before then setting itself off... horn plus siren, and the wife went nuts :). A post mortem reveals that it seems to have been enough to blow the alarm...

A few quick things...undo the circular plug and put 9v across the terminals...doesnt matter which way round, and 12v is not required. Does the clutch pull in? If no, does it at least magnetise...( test with spanner..). If you hit the clutch with a spanner does it pull in? If the answer is yes...

The bolts are usually fine, and just replace the nylocs

Is the steering centred correctly? Could be why it only happens on one side...

My 1998 says it is prone to cooling system leaks ... says they will replace all the hoses for me :) How do you find out if a car ever got fixed (JLR dealer, i guess),,, and would they honour it after all this time?

But that's double the price :)

you could try a bit of patience, some 2x magnification glasses and a small jeweller's screwdriver, after a bit of heat from a heat gun to help dislodge the ali. Good luck

You'll be ok with 12 volts on a V8, until winter maybe & unless money is no object. I have a volt meter on my cigar lighter and have to leave the vehicle for long periods and rarely if ever do i see more than 12v at first start up. Your charge voltage is good. I recommend you put the battery...

I suggest you remove the drum and clean up the brake surfaces with acetone, oil contamination can play havoc with the handbrake efficiency.

Unless it's obvious where the leak is coming from then you need to clean up the pipework first, to try and spot the leak. If it's a hose / pipe leak then quite a good way is to get it on full lock (max pressure) and use a piece of white A4 paper to locate what will probably be a jet of ATF...

Lots of suggestions above :) I had a very similar issue on my previous P38, it was a long search and I would say i sort of stabilised it in the end. For the valve adjustments after you turn off then you can remove the EAS relay as suggested and replace with a normal one, this allows you to...

did you get stuck in that parking space?

It's mainly there in the etm...component locations are at the back. Find a pdf vn which is searchable, and then you can skip from the connector numbers to location to pinout fairly easily. Unf ortunately nothing will explain to you how the loom is constructed, although etm has a dia of the...

I had a similar situation a few months ago on a 4L V8 - did a reset and replaced the TPS... I would just buy a second hand TPS and change it out. Be super careful removing the screws... they're very thin, and generally corroded in

Tnx - what was the trick for momentary high beam? That one annoys me the whole time... Do you have pics of where you stuck the washer?

tnx - solves a mystery for me

all the flaps have the slots for the cables, how did the RRC work?

just in time for winter too

yes, I have used a recharged one...seems to do the job, compared to a brand new one, which i bought at the same time... no difference really
