Going to check them, just wondering if I've knocked a wire off somewhere but can't see anything out of order yet

Ran out if bloody fuel, the sender does work but mustn't have it right, the gauge does move when putting fuel in, and lowers when getting used, think sender in tank just needs a bit of tweaking to get it right.

Yes Thanks to you and otheres here that have helped me through the whole rebuild.
On the Brake switch there is think its green/brown that goes to battery when I tested them with wires, can this go to one of the fuse boxes as it does work off both when touching wire to them ,
Also one thing that does not light up is the little Main Beam warning light on dash, But I can put up without that

Thanks will check the main beam wires, all of a sudden the oil pressure warning light has decided to come on , it goes out like the charge light straight away though.
Brake Lights I have Green/Purple going to rear lights, then up front there is another Green/ Purple and a Green/ Brown. which go to switch. was looking for a hole in to footwell to run these in . cant see any but can soon drill one somewhere convenient.

Thats a Beauty, how far on are you ?
Would love to do a series 1, then again this ones got me knackered , not sure if I could manage another.
Ordered the guard for pedal, will run my wires same as yours.
Half sorted my main beam warning light, the old bulb was broken inside, got most of the glass with a bit of fiddle, it works now but light is very Dim, dont think I got it all out.
Unless its the bulb as just put an old one back in, but it does light.

Not far away now just in the process of finishing the wiring door seals and various roof seals etc ,the hardest part is finding some where that has them without the series 1 price hike on them and ones that don't fall apart 2 years down the line
only eight year to date (and my son keep on have you not finished it yet ).will eventually get the various items galvanized but had to assemble the cab when we moved to Devon and now thinking of moving back to be close to the grand kid's
and where you can pick up part readily and the grockles don't swamp the place in summer

Amazing Work there. wish I was as clever as that.

Bought wheels and tyres as package from https://4x4tyres.co.uk/?utm_source=emailfooter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email_footer_4x4_main Chris Turner the man
power steering thought about it but do not want to wreck by galv chassis shame there are not anyone producing bolt on power steering kit like the defender for the series Land Rovers
I know you can get kits to fit the linkages but not for me would be very prone to damage slung under the front entry points

you would take red feed from the washer push button to either green feed on wiper switch using a piggyback crimp or off the ignition fuse box to the push button , black from washer push button to washer pump (other side of pump to ground) where are you going to fix it passengers bulkhead side .
