Thanks for letting everyone know and glad you got sorted

So we have solved the “charging system fault” message on the dashboard.. My mechanics words were :- The charging fault was a corroded wire in the plenum that provides the power to the battery monitor sensor So if anyone else is having this...

Just the correct size to send them under the motor with the grease gun.

That's our mechanic

I'd be pulling that wheel off and taking a look at the problem rather than believing it's cured sonny! 🤔

The tensioner has gone. It still spins but with sick noise, bearing gone. Thanks

I just checked properly :oops:. So yes injectors need out and to do that seems the engine needs raising :eek:. By "donut" do you mean the upper inlet? i would just keep on top of oil changes. J

you should not set the steering centre or tracking on a vehicle with a steering box based off the steering wheel. The defender steering box has has a centering hole that you line up with the slots on the back of the drop arm (pic below). You put...

Tbh whatever is on the bench, did nsr rrs caliper sliders the other day using some fancy blue grease meant for a baler!

Amps are the important bit here.

Volts mean squat, lower volt ie 12v normally draws more amps than say 24v would.

Wd40 is pure dog crap. I just put ordinary grease on the sliders. Do check that the piston retracts nice and smoothly as it could also be a genuine caliper fault.

Copper grease is overrated. Some so called professionals swear by it for everything

Noooooo! 😳

Might be the switch then, might not be rated for the current?
