Yeah, it is fine. (assuming it's the same header pod as the braking system uses)

Hi all, Got a problem with the clutch on my Defender 110. The first half of the pedal's travel is only resisted by the pedal return spring. Only when over half-way down do I feel the heavy resistance of the hydraulic valve present itself, so the clutch only becomes fully disengaged at about one...

No I haven't as yet. The problem here is like I said, the demographic is too small. The likelihood of finding a particular buyer wanting this specific model in this specific colour of this specific year who also has nine and a half thou burning a hole in his pocket is vanishingly small! :)...

Hadn't actually noticed that! Thanks for the heads-up.

Since new.

We don't have MoTs as such here - except for PSVs and such like. Instead they use a combination of police spot-checks and punitive fines if anything's been found to be unroadworthy. I would expect this LR to pass a UK test right away with nothing needing to be done. It's taxed for another 6...

Good point! Thanks.

Outline particulars plus photos on this thread: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/whats-this-td5-worth.334439/ Only asking £8,500 as living on the Isle of Man I'm slightly difficult to get to! Message me for further details.

I like your "may" LOL! The problem here is that it's such a tiny demographic; the whole population here is no bigger than that of Tunbridge Wells. I'd be waiting for ever. Anyway, judging from the remarks here I don't think £9.5k would be an unreasonable price for a quick sale so I'll kick off...

Still sounds like a duff battery to me.

Hi all, After 5 years of faithful service, the time has arrived for me to reluctantly sell my Defender since I'm finding the clutch a bit too heavy for my poor old left hand knee which went under the knife earlier this year and hasn't been the same since. I'm totally out of touch with values...

Er, yes, maybe. In fact there are additional spotlights (2 sets in fact - see my avatar). I've never used 'em, though, so... I'll look into it. In fact I have an old pal of mine from Sussex coming over this weekend and he's run his own Landrover business for nearly 50 years. If he doesn't know...

Well I can now confirm that the source of the issue was this mysterious white wire. It seems to have been there since manufacture but I can't be certain. Once I separated the grey/blue mainbeam wire from the white wire the problem went away. The white wire by itself reads close to short-circuit...

I've done a few more checks. After pulling apart the plug & socket at the bulkhead to isolate the headlamp bulb socket from the relays, fuses and switchgear, the main headlamp terminal at the headlamp end is still shorted to earth. Oddly enough, the mainbeam n/s (the problem one) has an...

Low resistance; indestinguishable from short circuit, so it looks like the chaffed wire hypothesis may well be the culpret. Rotten weather here today so it'll have to wait a little bit longer before I can see to it...

It's not the bulb. Checking the resistance between the contacts at the empty bulb socket with the headlights all turned off shows a very very low reading; as low as my meter will go. I'd have expected it to read infinite resistance if it were in good order.

Yes, the fuse responsible for n/s mainbeam blows just as you say.

Well, that could certainly account for it! Thanks.

Hi all, Just tidying-up a few loose ends on my 2003 Defender TD5 before I put it up for sale. I'm finding that the n/s headlight is blowing 10A fuses whenever it's put on main beam. The fuses blow right away so it looks like a near or total short-circuit. Any ideas as to what could be causing...

No, I've still got the Landy. I haven't actually got around to advertising it even locally on the island yet! Perhaps it doesn't want to go! On the very day I posted the first message here on the subject, I started to go down with some unknown viral infection which weakened my immune system (so...
