Hi , I'm really stuck with this one . I can't get the new timing belt over the tensioner pulley on my Defender 300tdi . I would really appreciate some help with this . Thanks , Gerry .

Ratae , it's a mixture . I'll recheck them tomorrow .One of the things that really puzzles me is how the air and bad running disappear when I pull the hose off the ip outlet but reappears when I reattach the hose at the ip and pull it from the tank .. nothing adds up .

Hi everyone , I really hope someone can help with this . I've done a two tank veg oil conversion on my 300tdi Defender . It's run perfectly for the last five years until a couple of months ago . When I switch to veg ( it's actually a veg/diesel/petrol blend ) it begins to lose power . The...

Final update . The bulb holders are indeed poorly made . If I connect two nails to the pins in the holder and then touch the bulb to the nails it lights up correctly . So the bulb clearly isn't seating properly . I'll replace both lights with the original type .

Ratae , you did well finding those diagrams . Nevertheless I do have the correct bulbs and after endless repetitive fiddling I managed to get them in and turned . They are both in the correct way , the highest pin on the bulb slotting in to the highest keyway on the holder . I now have two tail...

. The bulbs are correct and the slots in the holder correspond . They are just tight to push in and won't turn . I suspect a manufacturing fault . Hope to get a reply from seller tomorrow .

Definitely something dodgy about the holder . Bulb should not be tight to push in and should turn . Also very difficult to pull out again . Maybe the fact that the units came without bulbs says something , because I got similar style indicators from another supplier and they came fitted with bulbs .

Keyway is offset by height . Can't see the point of sticking a single in , I need brake lights .

Twin , and with the same wiring .

My question is why will my dual filament bulb not work in the holder of the new rear lights . Why will the bulb push down , tightly , but not twist round as it should , regardless of which way round it's inserted . Does it require a slightly different bulb or are the holders of an inferior...

Miktdish , I replaced the stop/tail lights not the indicators . The replacement lights were advertised as Defender/Series .. and have two spring loaded "button" connections in the holder .

Backinblack , no , just a straight swop for a new combined stop/tail light with the same three wires , red , green , and black .

I have messaged supplier but don't expect any reply over the weekend .

Hi All , I bought new rear lights for my Defender 300tdi . They differ from the originals in that they're one piece and regular bulbs won't fit properly . They're tight to put in and won't twist round . Only the tail lights work , no brake lights . Bulbs , fuse , and brake light switch are good...

Well chaps , panic over ! Turned out to be nothing more than a bad connection at the switch . The spade connector was bent downwards putting a strain on the wire and causing it to be bent over at a sharp angle . I just straightened it with my thumb and everything returned to normal . I will fit...

While I'm waiting for my switch and pressure gauge to arrive I thought I'd take another look at the wiring . There was a bit of a break in the outer covering of the wires coming from the oil switch but the inner wires looked fine with no bare wire showing . Also it wasn't even close to anything...
