    Towing Electrics

    The 9-way sealed connector was used from the start of TD5 production (1999 Model Year). Earlier Defenders and pre-Defender (like mine) have the Lucas 3/16" (4.7mm) bullet connectors behind the O/S rear lamp cover. 300Tdi pictured - .

    The connector is fitted with a rubber sealing cap at the factory, but I have come accross them, where water has crept into them and coroded the terminals. .
