    Heater matrix/wet floor

    Im having this issue, but only in the rain, where are the likely entry points?

    Weird "rolling, clunking" sound like a marble in the boot.

    Cleaning it out this weekend after dropping off logs I finally solved it ! It was a AA battery rolling around under the rear set but inside the fibreboard base of it. So it was rolling from the front of the seat frame to the back etc etc. God its pure bliss now

    Defender front end problem. Not wheel bearing.

    I have a similar issue. Seems markedly worse when in full lock maneuvering. Same for you ?

    Jim, the switch has 4 holes. Which 2 do I bridge ?

    Thanks Razor, yeah tried all the fuses. Have ordered new switch Jim, at very least it will close that avenue of investigation down. Would explain the intermittent nature of it

    Stuck in PARK (300TDi JAP)

    Im quite sure i dont know what im doing !! I had to get that key out of the lock whatever happened... I can reconnect it easily enough. There probably is a symptomatic reason for all these events but im not clever enough to figure it out, and find a solution quick.

    Stuck in PARK (300TDi JAP)

    Found switch 2, very wobbly, pulled connector out, and am faced with 4 wires of differing colours. If anyone knows which 2 to bridge it would get me out of immediate worry. Now just got to find a jap spec brake switch in a week

    Stuck in PARK (300TDi JAP)

    I should add, that I cant see a second sensor on the brake pedal but there is a stray 2 wires and a connector. (surely if there was no swithc it would never have worked, ulness the last owner bridged the wires with something crap. Still doesnt explain the ittermittent nature of the problem)

    Interestingly I am having the same problem, but I cant find the second switch at all. only the vacumn pipe one

    Stuck in PARK (300TDi JAP)

    Hi, Im in a bit of a pickle. My Jap 300Tdi Auto is stuck in PARK. Happened a couple of weeks ago, and I was told to rummage round the brake pedal and pull out the sensor wires and bridge the gap. As it happened I pulled out the vacumn sensor (which I now find is related to the cruise control)...

    Key stuck in igniton (related to Brake switch?)

    All sorted, disconnected solenoid under the ignition barrel. Was bloody hot to touch too so glad I did. Key slipped out a treat. Not quite sure of the benefit of such an "feature" anyway

    Key stuck in igniton (related to Brake switch?)

    Yes it is Jap spec. The system thinks the brake is on as the switch has been pulled down so is always "out" rather than in. The door beeps when I open it as well so it clearly thinks its not in park, or would it do that if the key wasnt turned to off ?

    Key stuck in igniton (related to Brake switch?)

    Hi, A few days ago I was in town and I suddenly couldnt get the truck out of park. To get me going I pulled the switch that sits above the brake pedal out, and that got me going, and I was able to drive around happily for a day yesterday stopping and starting frequently. However I got home...

    Should I Jet wash (Undersealed)?

    Just been given a Karcher and Ive run out of things to blast in the back garden :). Thoughts turning to the Landy..Thinking a good jet under there will remove the winters salt etc, its pretty well undersealed (so i guess salt isnt a massive issue) but was wondering if i may do more harm than...
