    Defender Door Repair - Help please!

    It's not too hard, though the more experiance you have of such work the better it will look when finished. Aneal the edge of the skin before prising it up and use an anti electrolysis past.

    Well I am using a Freelander engine compartment fuse box, it has severn relays and plenty of fuses so will do for this job just fine. I wired up the main relay to power the PCM and two more outputs for the two banks of injectors, all working ok then I thought I would use the A/C relay to power...

    Cigarette Port and Compass Mirror stopped working

    Yes fuse 15 under the steering wheel, if you remove the fuse and check it and it isn't blown put it back in, then you need to test it with a meter or test light because this fuse is powered by a relay that is energised when the ign is on, if the relay doesn't work you won't have any power to the...

    Land rover discovery 3 2005 braking problem

    When the p017 was done they would of checked to see if any engine oil had found it's way into the servo, if it had a new servo would of been fitted and possibly a new master cylinder if that was contaminated. I have seen vehicles that have had the P017 done but failed again. Remove the vac pipe...

    Cigarette Port and Compass Mirror stopped working

    Fuse 15 in the passenger fuse box powers both the cig lighter and the mirror, if you are sure that it is ok check to see if it is live with the ign on. If it isn't live check fuse 26 that is the fuse for the aux relay. Remember a blow fuse isn't the problem it is a symptom, though most often...

    Central Locking and Power Steering issue

    The upper tailgate switch is the one that puts a ground to the BCU, the lower tailgate release relay ( which is in the rear fuse box) recieves a power supply from the BCU and is grounded through the switch back to the BCU. The upper one is the most likley as if the seal around the switch isn't...

    Central Locking and Power Steering issue

    Hi, I would check the tailgate release switch, this switch put a ground to the BCU to open the tailgate, if there is a partial short when not pressed it could cause problems with the opperation of the BCU which controls CDL functions and the Servotronic steering. I wouls also disconnect the tow...

    KV6 starting problems

    Freeze frame is the data that is stored at the time of the fault being recorded, ie engine temp, throttle position, revs etc and yes clear the faults then if it fails again you will have fresh faults. good job it wasn't the temp sensor they are not very handy.

    Whilst I was underneath with the camera I took a few more shots. I have altered the top spring mountings and the springs fit ok now with no issues, those springs have been a PITA. Also you can see the steering damper mounting bracket, I have lost count of how many brackets I have made, it has...

    Box all bolted in, clutch bled and gear cables fitted. As you can see it is a tad tight around the gear selector. I changed the rubbery cable ends for rose joints and made a quick shift selector crank, the brackets for mounting the cables took a bit of getting right but all works ok now apart...

    Check your servo, it is probably full of oil. Pull out the vac pipe and use a tywrap as a dip stick.
