Thanks guys. It was indeed just an earth. I added another from the battery did the body and everything is back to normal. Amazing how one wire can cause all those Bizzare symptoms!

WHS Thaws the windscreen in no time. :D

Hi. Just had a 300tdi fitted to replace my 19j and the temp gauge was reading high. So after numerous sender unit swaps I decided to get a vdo gauge and sensor... this too reads high... but then I noticed if I put my wipers or lights on it went even higher and then dropped (still high) when...

ah, thanks guys. makes more sense now. The fusebox shown isn't mine, but I did upgrade to the blade type (it's a very straight forward job), so I only have the flasher relay. The reason I was asking because I'm going to add heated windscreen, heated seats and the intermittent wiper mod etc...

have you taken the shelf out from the top of the lower dash? The loom should be visible under that, and there are two bolts holding the lower dash in place there too.

Well done. I'd love it if mine passed with only those advisories. Mine's a 1989 90 too, just rebuilding atm.

Looking good as always Aaron. Can you do me a favour? Is there any part number on what looks like a bracket that is holding your relays to the fuse box? Just upgraded mine from the glass to blade fuses and bought the fuse bracket but I can't find a part number for the other bit.

Can anyone confirm if this is actually a bracket or are the relays connected individually.

Just upgraded my glass fuse box to the tdi one and I'm wondering is there a relay holder / bracket that goes with the fuse bracket? At present my flasher relay is just dangling underneath, but in pictures on t'web I notice what looks like a bracket screwed into the bottom (ooh err)... Had a...

All of that is correct, but I didn't get any of the shakeproof washers (thanks terrafirma) and just one single copper washer (which is the but that has me confused - doesn't take much I know) :)

I take it your washer was actually tight against the brass t-piece? The part I bought was NRC4251 and everything I've looked at suggests this is the correct part. I don't want to be putting the brakes back until I'm 100% confident that they're not missing something.

I bought some new brake hoses recently and they came with one single copper washer, but I can't figure out where it's meant to go?? I assumed that it went on the rear hose that connects to the copper t-piece but when the hose is tightened up the washer is loose. Are there meant to be more or...

is it a 110 thing as it looks like the 90 bulkhead would get in the way, or does it just appear to stick out quite a bit from behind?

Aaron, you remind me of a friend of mine. He used to say he was thick and put himself down but like you he was good with cars, more so on the electrical side. He could retrofit things manufacturers said couldn't be done. He also struggled with work and I kept telling him to work for himself and...

Defender p0rn! Looking good.

That explains why I couldn't find them. Thank you sir.

I've found the t-piece but can't see anything for the other two pipe clamp/holders.. Cheers

Let me know if you find any cheaper ones as I need one too :)

Talking of which.... did you sell that 200tdi engine that was on ebay (the one with the flux capacitor)?

I ordered a couple for my rebuild... they were too big so used the old ones. I ordered these. Are your screws too big or too small?
