Update this morning still raining. However, took out instrument cluster. 10 wire connector on RHS which has the live brown and yellow wire. In key pos. 2 it is live 12v. Connector pulled out it is dead. There is also the Red/white ignition wire which is also dead. Can't start car because it...

Regarding ignition lamp. On the alternator: Big brown live from battery. Underneath small brown and yellow. Live when key in position 2. Dead when key off. Underneath this is a white wire. Dead on or off with key. So I guess I need to check the bulb/connection to Ignition lamp in cluster...

Thank you ever so much. I can start checking this when rain stops (hopefully very soon) will let you know the results. Cheers, Paul

Hi absolutely agree. One thing at a time! Only thing is, I'm trying to confirm if they are connected or separate. I've had two different land rover guys tell me the opposite. My problem now is do I call a general auto electrician or an alarm specialist? I've put a new starter relay on, no...

Oh thank you. I will start looking today. What I'm not sure of is where the flow or direction of flow runs through the ignition red light so I can check back wards to find a break or reason why not illuminating, I guess when key is in position 2, power up the dash and everything, it should also...

Hi, ok many thanks for your help. Of course, just realised, I need to have someone turn the key to start position and check power on the soldered terminal on the ignition barrel and then to the relay connector in the passenger foot well. I'll get a new relay tomorrow. I'll look at dropping the...

OK, many thanks I'll do that this evening. I've been checking the flow of current with a multi meter this afternoon. There is power to the following from battery: The small black box of fuses behind the bettery on teh inner wing. Checked the terminals, power in and power out with a thick brown...

Thanks for info. Checked everything I could. Family member said about a fault reader. I have a 1994 3.9 soft dash. Do know what/where a OBD plug or socket would be if it has one? Before paying out lots of money (don't mind doing that if last resort although it hurts) but really want to learn...

Hi, thanks for reply. I'll give an update. 1. Fobs never worked. Always used key in door lock. 2. Noticed that the battery ignition like doesn't come on (don't know if correct or not if immobilized) 3. When stored, the back door electric windows didn't work, now they do.????? 4. At first all...

Hi, my rrc won't crank over. I put it away for the winter (4 months), now want to do the welding, but it won't crank. I left it unarmed and unlocked and disconnected the battery. I connected the battery. Put key in the ignition, normal lights on the dash, but then won't crank so the starter is...

Hi, ok understood. Let's take another tack. To put her back on the road so she appears factory original and could possibly be of some value to my children, I'm just not sure about quality of parts etc., I don't want cheap but above average so that things will last a bit longer. I've bought cheap...

Thanks for all your help. Burt sold it 'cause her in doors started waving 'er finger. When she does that even I go home. Anyway, I got a softdash to play with. I thought I might start with the easy things first, steering and suspension. I need to replace some bushes, so thought that an upgrade...

Ok, very helpful. I'll check this point out with Burt to see if the alarm was set. Really appreciate your help. I'll start foot stamping and press some apples to make some more scrumpy. I'll keep the forum posted.

Hello, Many thanks for your reply. I've googled this, from what I have read, there's a right way and a wrong way to proceed so looks like a range rover technician maybe required. I will check around locally to see what it might cost. Burt's given up on doing the head gasket, I think, so if I can...

Hello, A friend has a 1997 P38 diesel with a blown head gasket. He left it to do for a few weeks and the battery went flat. Re-charged it but now it won't start. Dashboard is lit up like a bleddy Christmas tree! It cranks but not firing. I told him he'll need an expert so better ave a glass of...

Thanks for replies. What I have further discovered is that when the headlight stalk/switch is on the washer pump works. So the stalk/switch is ok. I then ran a wire from the headlight contact on the back of the stalk/switch to the fuse contact and the headlights "dip" work. Can anyone tell me...

Hi SteNova, Many thanks for reply on my no dip problem. Do you know where the location of the Pink relay would be? I have found 2 white ones behind LH headlight where second battery would go and the others under dash panel to the right of the steering column. Cheers, Paul

Hi, can anyone please help me with a head light problem. Last night I started my 1985 range rover V8 and switched on the headlights and then they just went off. I have full beam but no dip.:confused: I have checked the bulbs, I've checked the switch on the steering column (brown power in, then...

Hi, I'm busy doing up my 85 RRC and am looking for some matching doors, bonnet etc., does anyone know of a well stocked used parts place, saw one on wheeler dealers where they picked up a good tailgate and a door but can't find out where it was. Anyone help? Cheers, Paul
