Hi all, after buying my 1997 90 300tdi bare chassis rebuild, I am now at the stage of wiring in the engine etc. My question is do all defender 300tdi have the under bonnet fuse box? There wasn't one with the vehicle when i bought it so I'm not sure. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Should be inside the cab on the bulkhead.
Infront of the gear stick look for a resess

Hi and thank you for your reply. I do have the fuse box in the cab where you describe, contains two rows of blade fuses and I think its six relays in a line underneath. Would this be the only fuse box fitted to the vehicle? Many thanks.

Should be…
Engine loom, rear loom should just all plug into this.

Yes,so i have purchased a new engine loom,this has plugged into the bulkhead loom. As far as i can see the glow plug loom is quite separate from the main loom but looks good. I was assuming that the starter relay is one of the six in the cab? With the ignition wiring also going through there?

Glow plug relay needs the big brown live to starter solinoid(closer than the battery)
Relays needed are the same colours where they are inserted into, yellow,green. You will also have an indicator relay holder there as well.
