It's fixed. Took the guy about half an hour to fix it. Was about 30pounds if converted ;) The car dealership I bought the Landy from will reimburse me. Will try and take some pic's tonight to show what he did. Thanks for all the help!

Yes, I hoped the plug was loose or a wire but alas it's a mess :(

ok so we did some bonding... I took out the centre console and took a look from above. There was insulation tape all over and took it all off, can't see how they thought this connection will work... Anyhow, phoned the sales guy and will be taking my Landy to a independant Landrover repair...

It's for when I get lost (won't get stuck!) in the bush so a helicopter can find me! :D

No worries! :D

Hi Guys Thought I'll start this thread just to re'introduce myself. Hope it's ok to post it here? Haven't been on the forum for some time and changed from my gaylander to a DII and now a Defender. Here is some pic's of my Defender (coz everybody likes pictares) It's a 2005 Defender...

Thanks James Will check this afternoon when I get home and report back in the morning

Hi Station Sorry for the miss type, it's not a LR dealer - better know as a stealer around here. It's the second hand car dealership (Ford & Mazda) where i bought my Landy from. The problem is they are 70km from where I stay and work so it's a bit of a drive to take her back. Thought if it's...

No joke, bunch of wannabe's that changed it and then told me to take it to a auto electrician!:mad: How do I get to it? Take out centre console and plate and do it from the top or is it easy enough from under the defender? Thanks

Hi Matt Beein doing a bit of google'ing and apparantly you just need to change the gear in the speedo gear unit to one that fits your new tyre size? See here: How to replace the speedo drive gear on a Land Rover - The Land Rover Blog Hope it helps

Hi Guys I got my Defender last week and the dealership replaced the speedo Drive Gear but they did not know how to connect all the wires back? :eek: Anybody know where this unit is and can I connect it myself? Is it on the transfer case next to the handbrake drum same as the older defenders...

Hi Guys Been almost a year sice I've been on the site, use to drive a gaylander but saw the light and bought the Disco II V8. :D The air-compressor is noisy, is there just a bearing that needs to be greased or should I replace the whole thing? Any pointers when removing it? Thanks ;)

Hi Guys I went to test-drive another one this weekend. It's a 1999 Disco2 Auto 7seater with all the bells and whistles. It is in a very very good condition and the motor is immaculate. The motor and Turbo has recently been redone. I already have a buyer for my gaylander so I will be one of the...

That's true but it's impossible to load everything on the axels isnt it? Some of it will either be a bit to the front or back and that ballance you need to get right. If it's to much to the back it will swing and if it's to much to the front it can be to heavy for the towball and it could brake...

To load the weight over the axles is correct but the nose wheight gets ditirmend by the amount of wheight you load in front but by the amount of wheight you load at the back as well because the one detirmens the other. And even the wheight over the axels must be the same on the left and right...

Hi Just my 2cents worth @bout towing a caravan When towing make sure the nose wheight is correct, not to heavy and not to light (Check your car manual and what LR recomends). The weight must be even throughout the rest of the van. Also increase the presure on the back tyres of the towcar. On...

Thanks Big guy I would have considered the TDi300 but they were never imported to South Africa (Well I can't find any :() Please feel free anyone to correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Hi Paul I'm going to have a look at this one this weekend (The km are putting me off a bit, ok alot!) but will go and have a look anyway. Cars4sale - Dealer Link Detail I've never owned a Auto so will take some getting use to. If you need some parts and you are a bit of a DIY guy I would...

Hi MHM Thanks for the reply, it's good to year from you again. It's been a while since I've been on LoonyZone :) Do you know from which year moddel has TD5's?

Hi Guys! I'm from the gaylander section but not for long :o I hope.... :D I'm considering trading in the gaylander on a disco TD5 and I'm hopeing you guys can give me some advice. I did read through a few threads before starting this one but none seemed to answer my questions completely...
