Defenders Ridiculous Overspeed Warning Tone

Mr. Kairo said:

Regarding warning lights and gizmos a few other unusual things on the Defenders over here I had not seen on others. A Seat Belt warning light via a switch in the release end of the belt, all I have seen are broken, but still in place. My warning light cluster has what looks like possibly a Cab-Over warning light; red, lower right side, might be indicating the cab was not secured?? No wires running to it though. Also a transmission temperature or more likely a PTO light, red, center lower row. Those wires I traced to termination above the transmission. A colleague told me Discos had a temp sender in the transfer case or transmission, wonder if I have a Cab-Over warning light cluster and this was part of that vehicles outfitting? Or it is for a PTO option? The low fuel light comes on randomly while driving when your at 1/4 tank and below, bright, yellow... very irritating at night.....

Sounds like you might have the warning light cluster that was part of the ill-fated (and ridiculously named) Land Rover Llama project. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Land_Rover_Llama_dash_warning_lights.png

Wouldn’t fitting a resistor in the feed from the speedo cable transducer do the trick?

Well done, land rover ownership is like that electrical gremlins are a regular problem, on defender earths and poor wiring is common causes

but it could be worse....

You could own a Range Rover where electrical gremlins are a daily occurrence and normally expensive and the vehicle wont go. mostly with a defender it keeps on going...

Where are you in Morocco, ?
