    SIII - Brake warning light issues

    Sorted! I couldn't work out that W2 was the relay body and not a spade connector 🙄 All working now, thanks everyone for advice and especially @mystery for diagrams!

    SIII - Brake warning light issues

    My relay doesn't have a w2 spade connector, only W1, C1 and C2. I can hear it click when 12 volts is put through W1 but the bulb doesn't light up. The bulb comes on if I put the other end of the W1 red and white wire on the stage 2 live from the ignition barrel.

    SIII - Brake warning light issues

    Cheers, my relay only has c1, c2 and W1, so do I just earth to c1? This is the wiring that was on the relay before I took it out.

    SIII - Brake warning light issues

    Hi all, Been rewiring my 1983 SIII 109 diesel, using Autosparks looms and the Haynes Book of Lies :rolleyes: Everything is working except for the brake warning light, which I have not been able to get to work properly. It's the self-testing type, with a square "BRAKE" warning lamp which should...

    1983 Land Rover SIII 109 diesel truck rebuild

    More progress despite the weather: Manifolds off and cleaned. Engine paint is in surprisingly decent condition... ...although it's a bit oily inside. Chassis in engine bay painted as well as the original white paint cleaned up I flushed loads of rubbish out of the radiator, and soldered up a...

    Hello all, it's been a while since I posted anything on here, but I have been keeping busy with the project. Here's some of the ongoing work: - Removed the floor to repair and repaint the footwells and bulkhead - Replaced the chequerplate [!] tub floor with the original floor and wheelarches...

    1983 109 diesel wiring harness - which one?

    Another question - is there any supplier of SIII wiring harness I should look out for? Either one worth buying or one to avoid.

    1983 109 diesel wiring harness - which one?

    Thanks, that dashboard diagram is very useful! I take it the low fuel light has a positive to the fuel sender and an earth somewhere? Also the heater plug light has the same wires as the choke light? Hopefully I should be able to make one good panel out of two knackered ones 🤔

    1983 109 diesel wiring harness - which one?

    Yep, that's what I think it is at least. On my spare instrument panel it's blanked off with a bit of plastic. This one doesn't work either as the bulb has probably blown.

    1983 109 diesel wiring harness - which one?

    I've seen the same looms for sale by Craddock, Autosparks and Britpart

    1983 109 diesel wiring harness - which one?

    Hi all, I'm about to replace all the wiring in my '83 diesel 109 truck and have come across several different looms available. I'm not sure which one [if any] is the right one, as electrics are not my strong point! For example, there is a July 1980 - January 1983 harness [PRC2533], and a...

    Gatwick Airport Series IIIs - any info/pics?

    Hi, Not sure if this is the right place to put this but here goes... So I have been working on my Series III 109 truck for just over 2 years now, and have known for a while that it was based at Gatwick Airport for much of it's working life. However, except for a couple of undated receipts from...

    Battery connected wrong way - How much damage?

    Thanks everyone, I have disconnected the alternator, the engine now starts and everything works perfectly. The multimeter shows an open circuit with the battery terminals disconnected. I'll have a look at fixing the alternator, if not then I'll have to lighten my wallet :eek:

    Battery connected wrong way - How much damage?

    Hi all, Went to move my SIII 109 diesel, and [stupidly] touched the leads onto the battery terminals the wrong way round. Obviously there was a loud bang and some sparks, and I quickly took the leads off. However, since this incident there is now a dead short across the positive and negative...

    1983 Land Rover SIII 109 diesel truck rebuild

    Hi all, long time no see :) It's been a while since I've been on LZ due to a combination of college work and lost passwords, but the Series III has been progressing steadily. I have stopped for the winter as we have had some awful weather and my workshop isn't big enough for a Land Rover (yet!)...

    SIII diesel thermostat woes...

    I think the water pump is alright as no untoward noises coming from the bearings or pulley, and I'm not losing any coolant. Hopefully it's nothing major :eek:

    SIII diesel thermostat woes...

    Same situation here really, I'm going to go out this weekend without a thermostat and see what happens. Come winter it'll hopefully get parked in a nice warm garage so no thermostat shouldnt be a problem.
