I do hope someone can help.
I turned the key on my 99 'V' Defender this morning & first thing I noticed was the glow plug light didnt come on & fuel pump didnt make its noise, turning the key further just turned the engine over. It isnt firing at all. I have checked all the fuses but all are ok.
Does anyone know what could be the prob?
Many thanks Ian

I found the problem. Somehow water had got in the box under drivers seat & had corroded the yellow relay. Stripped the affected wire, made good & started straight away. I found another issue though whilst I was under the driver seat & that was oil running down the loom to the ECU so cleaned it up as a temparary measure & my next job will be replacing loom with the upgraded one. Any ideas where I can get the loom from & how much? Had a look on ebay but cant seem to find the one I need on there.
Thanks again

I don't know where you can procure a replacement loom Ian, but thankyou for the information, tips like these are invaluable.
Kind regards
Otto
