1997 300tdi auto with edc. After quite a bit of oily work done on the vehicle I had the lower half of the engine plus the gearbox and transfer box steam cleaned at a truck wash. All was good for about a mile then coughed and spluttered to a halt at the side of the road. Took about an hour of...

Exhaust. No water loss

Many thanks. Much appreciated!

Thanks both. Could this be why the cabin gets a bit "fumey"? Is it straight forward to replace by a keen amateur armed with a Haynes manual?

Hello 1990 200tdi 90 defender Found bits of this while poking around in the inner wing area near washer bottle / heater box. Feels like perished cork of approx 15 mm thickness. I'm guessing it's it's some sort of gasket but where from please? 50p coin for scale.

Does this help?

Engine 11L00785A

Thanks

Thanks all. I'm going to run new wires for the wiper and hrw but don't like the idea of leaving the fault as is. Shame I only recently sprayed bucket loads of bilt hamber in the chassis so could be a messy job. Ideally if I could establish where there purple one terminates, and assuming I'm not...

Ok here's some replies to questions raised so far... On coils Drums at rear (but so is my son's January regards 200tdi) Defender 200tdi not disco Photos

Why would there be a permanent live to the rear, what's it for?
