Hi, Just brought a diesel Series III Land Rover which i'm fixing up, but I need some info on some of the electrics.
1. The glow plug light is very dim, it only just glows. I traced all the wiring and it all seems fine according to the Haynes manual. Across the resistor measures around 6v, but I have a 12v bulb for the glowplug light. Has someone put the wrong bulb in at some point or is this correct? Do I need a 6v bulb?
2. In the middle theres a panel with a light saying "Brake". I thought maybe a hand brake warning light, but I cannot find any wires coming out of the drum or lever. It doesn't come on with handbrake. Haynes manual doesn't even method it, so I really need to know what it's for.
Many Thanks
