    Indicators

    as in the come on and stay steady? OK so it's not fuse, earth or bulb. That could be a 'flasher unit' issue. The little box that tells the indicators to flash rather than just stay on. Is this on all sides, front and rear?

    Raptor Dash console

    I have the raptor and love it but this is an old 1985 110. It's easy to fit, lovely and strong, and the design allows you to customise everything. The ali panels come off and you can cut into them without much fuss. Or if you know what you want, get them to do it. Also the service is very...

    Indicators

    Do they work with the hazards on? if NO, then it could be - Fuse compartment - by the gear lever bulbs, or just a bad fitting between the bulb and the holder, mine go some times and I have to 'wiggle' them back into place Hazard switch, as everything goes through the hazard switch if YES Fuse...

    Them there fuel level senders?

    110, 1985 originally a v8

    Them there fuel level senders?

    when you reattached the sender, did you have to replace the seal? I thought if you changed the sender you needed to.

    Them there fuel level senders?

    did you do anything with the seal?

    I have the same issue - watching to see what you do.

    Broken bonnet hinge bracket

    I recently had this problem when I was rebuilding my bulkhead. I could not find one as an off the shelf part, so cut and used the old one. I suggest you start looking at discarded bulkheads, or maybe measure the other and cut one up.

    Rear indicator & Hazards Not Working

    bulb, earth, Connection in the light fitting for the bulb (if old model) Switch Hazard Swtich. Get a circuit tester. (nail with LED bulb and a wire) and once you take the bulb out you can work backwards finding where the circuit fails.

    Question regarding Side/Tail lights

    I had some funny stuff going on with break lights, indicators, etc, working then not, then working again. Bulbs changed then fuses ('85 110 so glass tubes) out and cleaned, plus the contacts. I did the whole lot with spray and a cotton bud. Earths cleaned. The Fuse cleaning worked wonders on...

    Re-sealing my roof gutter

    I took the gutter off my roof (when I was fitting a new one) and put the sealant directly in-between the roof and the gutter then riveted it all back together. Still leaked, so I then put lots more on the inside of the gutter pressed in with a finger, now it leaks from under the gutter where the...

    Glow plug relay question

    A used a puller, but a jack underneath he joint to push the crew end 'up' will shift it if it's stuck. It's a nice job. not much that can go wrong - enjoy

    Glow plug relay question

    Do you mean the Ball joint ends on the rod? That was the first job I ever got the courage to do myself, very satisfying that one.

    Glow plug relay question

    I would encourage you to have a go. It would be a good project. You will need the skills the next time the landy goes wrong. Easiest way would be to put a glow plug relay in the engine bay. Take a thick wire from the starter motor (or alternator) to it (add a fuse into the system), and then...

    Glow plug relay question

    I have a 300tdi fitted to a 1985 (used to be v8). I have a manual setup for glow plugs. A relay behind the speaker box and it's wired to miss the ignition completely. A small switch which i stuck into the dash turns the relay on, it's connected to instrument light 'BREAK' that was not being...

    Wanted Front axle for defender that works as LHD.

    I fitted a whole bunch of new parts from a disco to my defender recently, but the front axle was a RHD and my LHD axle couldn't help as the front axle was weirdly old and unique. To make the disco axle fit my LHD defender I either need... 1 - One of these for the 'wrong' side. i.e normally the...
