Got my hands on a snap-on gizmo, cleared the codes (nothing out of the ordinary), and the problem still exists. I think i'll just put up with it for now...

That seems to make sense, i'll try that if clearing codes doesn't solve anything

So there are two options for the ecu brake switch input, normally open and normally closed, mine has a normally open connection - pin B16. when I disconnect this, the engine goes into a constant 'labouring' sound. I think the next step would be to read and clear any fault codes. I'm just...

Good idea, i'll have a go and let you know what transpires. Again, many thanks for your help

I've checked circuit diagrams and yes, the ecu does have a feed from the brake circuit. That's interesting, and no, no ABS Also worth mentioning the 'problem' goes away when I remove the fuse. And the ecu has gone for a swim before

Thanks for your reply, Ooh ok i'll try that, didn't think about the vacuum pump, i'll have a fiddle in the morning. Brakes are working fine and no unusual noises from engine bay.

Hi all, I seem to have a strage problem with my brake lights / pedal, After noticing i've been driving around with no brake or reversing lights I checked and the fuse had blown. I replaced the fuse and it hasn't gone since. My issue is when I depress the brake pedal, the engine labours - there...

Hellooo I seem to have a bit of a problem. I found play in my transfer box front output shaft so went to change the bearing... I found that the bearing could slide freely in the casing! It didn't need pulling out or the new one pressing in, just needed a bit of brute force. Also, I have found...

Apologies for the late reply, i've been having computer issues. Many thanks for your replies but I tightened up one of the front wheel bearings (very slight play) and the wobble has been significantly reduced - enough for me to ignore it for now anyway!

Hi guys, got a question about setting my swivel pin preload, i'm trying to identify the source of my 'death wobble' (Steering wheel wobbles/shakes a lot during deceleration in a straight line). My swivel hub has no play, but is not smooth from lock to lock. it's very free in parts and a little...

Installed some snazzy new remote central locking, hazard lights flash and all :D

Started the manufacture of my custom mud flaps, cut some rubber sheeting to size and now finding a way to paint them white (hell yeah) should have the brackets welded up by the end of today, will post a piccy when done!

Fitted a sub-woofer in the cubby box and installed an amplifier :cool:

Started the installation of my homemade electronic immobilizer :)

Thanks :)

Just a thought... I have a Defender TD5 and I don't have an AC pump installed meaning there's a space on the engine where the pump can be bolted on and run off the serpentine belt. I've got an AC generator motor lying in the garage from when I took apart a small petrol generator with mains...

Hahahahaha

Tanks for your replies everyone, this is useful stuff, a good read.

Okay you win xD

(that's presuming it was working before and the wiring was correct in the first place)
