Thanks for the reply, I was testing the red/white circuit without the gauges etc attached, I believe this was the problem as this circuit is fed from the instrument loom (as far as i can work out). So I will fit the dash and test again, fingers crossed it doesn't release the smoke and I have...

Multi meter set on 12v DC. Test from earth point across instrument (Red/White) +tve feed.

Hi again all, Its been a while since ive chatted here. I am still in the process of putting my 1991 (300TDI) truck cab back together and even with a new main loom (autosparks) I'm struggling to get power on the instrument lighting circuit (red/white). I've checked the fuses, checked power at...

Yep, Gunnislake is a smally stagger to my place tucked in the valley below Albaston. The damp down here isnt good for the old chassis though.

Albaston, with a sick 110 pickup, going to attempt to sort the wiring gremlins out very soon.

Excellent thanks

Thanks for the replies gents

It's at the back between the petrol tank and left side tail lights.

I have a 1991 Defender pickup and bought a new chassis wiring harnes, on both the new and the old there is one of the above female socket, can anyone tell me what this is supposed to be connected too please?

Hi there, do you make these doors? as i am after the left hand side door but would be happy to buy a pair. Regards TBP

Oh well it started to go back on OK but there was one of the bolts missing from the pump bracket to the auxiliary engine mounting bracket and two of the bolts stripped the internal thread on the Aux mounting bracket and they were no where near the torque settings....hmmm what to do now? Any...

Ahh success, well at least the pump came off, just used another spanner to hold the pulley. Now to get the new one back on, bleed and road test as i replaced the front bearings,discs and pads......fingers crossed, as i think i might have done the hub nuts to tight!!

Just aboot to replace my Pump too, and i know dam well the bolts will snap/sheer/round, even after two days of rust penetrating nasty stuff. Ahh the joys, found a new use for the wifes popup gazeebo, to keep my dry as well.

Nice job Mr Brown, excellent description and phots, looked a lot easier than mine, but is is my first time LOL

Thanks guys, loads of top info there, i used a wheel puller to get the old bearing of the stub. So far all going well new bearings in the hub all greased up, just need to find the torque settings for the bolts etc...then do the other side, hopefully a bit quicker now i have an idea what to do...

I do have a wheel puller but wanted some advice before i break something again lol

Yes stuck fast to the axle.

Just removed the discs etc from my 97 defender 130, are the inner hub bearings supposed to stay in the hub housing or on the axle as mine did? Outer ones came out easy enough. Thanks oz

My Def 130 300TDI slightly larger tyres and it cruises around 70mph but will go up to 80/85 with ear defenders and anti vibration suit. TBP
