Nowt worse than gremlins in the electrics. I had a load of electrical problems and they all started when I went into the fusebox. Seem the fuses/ holders were so old they had some kind of corrosion on them that meant when I put them back in they weren't making a conncetion. New fuses and...

I had the same problem. Mine would clear if I pressed the hazzard switch,( even though it was off) and cancel the indicators. Put indicators back on and theyd work.

Does the 86/87 100 defender have an engine coolant temp sensor?

Yes removed the petrol cap........ no difference. Just to add more info. It does it on cold days too. Just drove it 5 miles stopped it for 10 mins and she had no intention of starting. Finally did with foot flat to the floor, put on seat belt and she stalled.

My old 1986 2.5 petrol 110 starts first turn when cold. She's been sitting for a week in 20 degree weather, went to start her and it just spun for 10-15 secs then finally fired. Drove it for 20 mins with no issues. Parked it up, came back 30 mins later and same thing. Any ideas...

Its a 2.5 petrol 110. 1986 but only done 30,000 miles not sure what type of pump. Im in Brittany France at the mo, I see your in Tynemouth, Im from Morpeth.

I know thats why I want to fix this one ;-)

Got a wee leak on my steering pump. All hoses are ok, coming from the join in the casing near the belt end. Is there a seal kit for them? I read someplace they are unservicable. 150 quid for a brit**** replacement :-( Cheers

Might be interested in the RHD headlights

Might have been the originals, they had two screws in side the wing holding them on, had to get in through the rubber wheel arch.

CT's or (MOT's) are indeed every two years, I have never heard them called strict, however. I brought a renault over and registered it in France and it was pretty simple. The French system is beaurocratic slow and rigid so I can see the engine swap issue being a nightmare. My Defender...

Cheers all Might have to get me some of those seperators! :)

Any one know if there's an easier way to get to the side repeater without taking the rubber wheel arch off? Mine doesnt have the push to the right repeaters. Cheers

Am I correct that the drag link ball joint should be a rh thread.

Seems I have 3 so Im going to have to take a risk.

So if the rod is correct there should be a conventional right thread on the passenger side and a left thread on the drivers side?

How does one tell what thread is needed on the track rod end with out taking the old one off first? I need a passenger side TRE for my 86 110.

Cheers Station. Yes it was working prior, fuses are ok. Im correct in thinking I should hear the pump regardless if there is enough fuel in the tank ?( the pump doesnt have a cut off if not in fuel?) I have a round 6 litres in there but dont want to put more in if I have to drop the tank...

Hi all So I put a new fuel tank on my 110 2.5 petrol, put in back together now it wont start. I dont hear the fuel pump on II. Any ideas on what it could be, Im hoping it can be diagnosed before dropping the tank again? Cheers in advance
