No idea why that link won't link. Here's the long version...

I have a feeling that might not be an option, Germany has some funny rules about towing and the TUV might insist on it being 13 pin native especially if they need reverse lights on the socket. No idea whether TUV would test the live outputs or...

Just got in and connected ctek. It's at level 3 just now. Will wait a while and check. 10 mile round trip to local landy garage and no fault warnings. 🤷

You could try plugging one of those voltage displays in the accessory socket.

It may well start with low volts. What voltage have you got on the battery after the CTEK has been on for a while? I get around 12.8v

Judge Dread 1995 film the city taxi cabs were based on Land Rover 101's, not that you would recognise them.

Sure you spelt that last word correctly?

Sorry for typos! 🙄

Never had any starting problems and sits for days in between using. Just bought a ctek battery conditioner which is now connected at all times on driveway Bosch battery on when I bought it 18 months ago. I've neve had to put it on charge and it...

Here's mine from a while ago ... Any help ?

I've never done one myself but I'm sure I've read about people rebuilding them, no doubt someone clever with some actual experience will be along shortly to tell us where the best resources are. I expect mine will fail soon enough but I'm sure...

Whilst I'm very pleased for you, this level of bragging has brought up some feelings of jealousy. Nah, I'm over it. Good for you my friend. Good for you!

Sad news indeed Jai. When somebody passes it always makes you wonder about the nature of mortality. Ryder was a good man and I am pleased to say I knew him. Whatever happens, I think it is true to say this thread keeps the memories alive. It's...

I used to use a spares shop local to me called JLS Landrover Unit 37-38, Owen Road Trading Estate Downs Road Willenhall West Midlands WV13 2PF Sadly I went there today and it’s all closed down and stripped out. Does any one know if they have...

The glow plugs were cheap, from one of the usual UK suppliers directly from their website. I couldn’t tell you at this stage what brand they are. I don’t really think it’s a glow plug problem. The signs I learned to look for from my experience...

That's what I found, so my first idea was to simply plug the lights into the rear harness as required, put two earth to the chassis and call it a day. I have no idea if that is the proper way to do it so, because I assume the trailer relay is...

Germany, and since she rated to tow 6.5 metric tons I thibk I need a 13 pin, at least properly installed. Already asked a while ago, and the pneumatic trailer break system required for the 6.5 ton trailers is not needed to maintain the towing...

K-seal in the system will sort minor leaks for a good time. Can be used with Blue antifreeze.

Does anyone know the correct settings for doing the tracking properly? Toe in or out settings and where the drop arm should be pointing. I know that with the wheels in the straight ahead position the drop arm should be slightly to the offside but...

You deserve my friend :)👍

Not counting my chickens sonny boy😝

Do you need a 13 pin or can you use a 7pin socket? Also where abouts in the world are you? 👍

There are loads of examples on Google. 13 pin sockets weren't around before 2008 ...

Used it to come home from that girls house this morning at 6.30😝😊 She's amazing 🤩

Check the condition of the disk backing plate. The little bolt holes rust through🤔

Have the battery tested. 12.4v is a little low and these machines rely heavily on a good battery. As said a possible faulty alternator also as this will take the battery down with it 👍

How old is the battery? Does it charge from a mains charger and hold it?

was that while cranking? ...cos that's the only relevant reading... also dont try to crank it when you try to bump start it

That's nice for you!! Going anywhere in the camping car?;):)
