Thanks chaps - I'll have a prod around tomorrow and see what happens.

Nope, the two wires go into a plastic junction (eg two sockets that snap together). The two black wires from the sender come out of the junction as a green and black wire and... ...the wire from the mystery plug leads off in the same direction. All three wires are bound together in heat shrink...

Thanks anyway, appreciate it.

Right, thankfully I'm not being entirely dumb! Just tried again - it does look like it should connect there but the plug and that socket definitely won't go together. The plug has pins and two moulded lumps inside to fit into whatever female connector it's designed for. The socket on the...

Oh... That was the first thing I tried but couldn't get it to fit. Could it be that there's a part that's fallen off that would connect the two. The right hand part of the fuel sender doesn't look like it has holes to recieve the three pins on the plug? Will go and try again... Yep, it's a...

Ah, sorry - 300tdi. 1997 if that makes a difference.

Hi Had a new crossmember fitted recently - fuel gauge hasn't worked since. Haven't had a chance to take it back to garage yet but was poking around to find the problem. Might have found the culprit - there's a random wire / plug hanging loose but I can't find anywhere for it to plug into...

...more Cheers David

Hi Simon Sorry for the delay - there's been an irritating problem I've been trying to fix (see my other post) re the fuel gauge. I'll get it sorted before selling. Anyway, I took a few more photos today. Also checked the MOT certificate - no advisories. In the spirit of openness, it failed...

Hi Simon Absolutely, but I'm away in London for a few days and probably won't be back in the light to take some photos. Don't recall the garage mentioning anything re advisories but I'll get on to the photos at the weekend and let you know exactly what came out the MOT. Previous MOTs have...

Thanks?! As I said, open to offers on it but, having looked around, think its a reasonable asking price for its condition etc. Here are a few pics.

Per the title, my '97 Rioja Red 110 csw is for sale. Change in circumstances - new child and new job - mean its no longer being used. It has done 108000 miles. Passed its MOT yesterday. I'm in the Bath area. Looking for £7250 or reasonable offer. I've had it a few years. In that time...

Is it cutting out or losing grunt? Ours was cutting out and initially would restart immediately. As time went on it would be longer and longer before it would restart. Symptoms were similar to issues with the stop solenoid. Not sure if you're landy has an immobiliser but that was the problem...

The servo was replaced on our my 1997 110 last year for the same reason. Cause was obvious though, there was a corroded hole on the servo housing... If that's not obvious I guess it's worth checking the rest of the system for leaks before diving in with a replacement. Others will be far better...

That's really good of you Blue Beasty, thanks. I'd like to take you up on the offer. I'll PM you to arrange. Cheers Re. the toe ball - are you saying replace the toe ball plate or the cross member? Ta

Thanks for the replies. I need to do the same test with the chassis but hope its in better condition. Ha, yes they're meant to be there. It's just that they were starting to flake (delaminate?) around the hole. You can't really see in the photo. Good news that it's patchable, thanks. Does...

Hi I'm relatively new to defender ownership and would appreciate some pointers. There was advisory on rust on the crossmember at the last MOT. I've kept an eye on it since then but not really checked it out up close until today. I've given it a good attack with a screwdriver and hammer...

If I gave that impression in my original post, I didnt mean to. My point was more that whereas a dealer may give me £6k and sell it for £8k, could I get £7k if I sold privately. **Illustrative numbers! Dealers, as any other merchant, clearly buy cheap and sell high. I just want to know...

All interesting stuff - basically, I could probably get £7k for a private sale but with a bit more ball ache. Time is tight as we're expecting our first in 2 weeks... £6k selling through, rather than to, the dealer with them doing the work sounds like a good bet. Interesting question about...

Sadly the time has come to sell our landy. Starting a family, lack of space and lack of use means it can't be justified any more... Perhaps to be replaced in the future when we're more flush. Anyway - its a 97 300tdi 110 csw in good nick. 108000miles. Failed last mot due to brake servo leaking...
