The other problem I was working on was that the horn isn’t working. I tested pulling the relay. When it’s in I get about 14v across the fuse, when it’s out it goes down to 0.3v. I would’ve expected it to go down to 0v. I wanted to test the relay but there’s four connectors on the bottom and I...

Thanks, I’ll take a look at that when I get home. I haven’t updated my details. I live in Africa now.

But the really must be faulty as well right? It shouldn’t be drawing current with the ignition off if the relay isn’t stuck closed.

While chasing out another problem I found that my glow plug fuse had blown out. Hasn't been a problem so far but I'm planning on taking it somwhere pretty cold next year so I though I'd better get it fixed. I got a new fuse but I was a bit lazy and didn't even disonnect the battery (ignition...

Are they joking making these plugs torx 55? I have two torx sets and both go up to 50? Who carries torx in their toolbox, never mind size 55? The local DIY chain doesn’t even sell nails, now I’ve got to go searching round trying to find this random tool for one simple job, or wait three weeks...

Didn’t know I was 40 either. It occurred to me as I was lying in bed last night that I may not actually need a new plug as well, but I like to renew these things when it’s cheap and easy to do so, but also because it appears that somebody’s bodged it in with the wrong part. Are the hole’s all...

I’m changing the gearbox oil in my 10p TD5 and I thought I had all the correct plugs, at least according to lrworkshop. This is what I’ve got: https://www.lrworkshop.com/parts/FRC6145 But now I’ve got down there to do it it’s some kind of female type plug which looks like it takes a 1/2”...

Just to update in case anyone reads this in the future. I’ve ordered a new sensor and thermostat to try and fix this. I checked the instructions I’d used for setting up the fingers and I was wrong in remembering that I’d only turned them half a turn, it was actually a whole turn, so I’ll just...

Thanks for the replies. I’ll check the rocker adjusters. I’m pretty sure I got the timing right, I did have the proper tools and I didn’t make them myself. Everything fit perfectly. I’ve ordered a new thermostat and coolant temperature sensor. Whatever that pipe’s called that has the sensor in...

So my first big engine job so forgive me if I get some terminology wrong. I changed the cylinder head and it's all running again but when starting from cold it needs a bit of feathering on the accelerator to get it going. It's doesn't perform to well after that either, until it gets warmed up...

It’s 2000. It’s actually got the one on the front left. Mine doesn’t even have the emblem logo thing on it. Even if the stickers weren’t on there I’d like to have them on. It looks a bit empty without them.

So my 110 TD5 has been resprayed at some point and I’m replacing the missing decals. I’ve got to do the little side TD5 stickers, the big one next to the back door, and the rear Land Rover emblem. I’m a bit a bit anal for getting everything somewhat exact though. Does anyone have any...

It was my understanding that all the metal bull bars/A bars were illegal on the roads in the UK. The vehicle will be returning to the UK in a few years so I don’t want to buy a metal one that I’ll have to take off soon, and I don’t want one that’s going to hurt anyone if I do get in an accident...

Does anyone happen to know if Defenders in Africa were ever sold with the rubber nudge bar? I’ve never seen any with one but if they were actually sold here I might start the mission to find one. Is there anything I can find that will tell me more about the Africa setups? Thanks.

Thanks, I’ll have a proper read through what you wrote later with some LR diagrams next to me. If everything between LHD and RHD is the same except the trim inside the cabin then I think I can get the bits and get something working. So it sounds like the stuff in the cabin is basically an on/off...

I found a few things like that but they were like £5000. I don’t want one of those evaporators that you fill with water just because we had one when our daughter was a baby and it didn’t seem to do anything. I was just searching for “12v ac”, are there better words I should be using?

I live in Morocco. This is why I’m trying to bodge something together rather than get a full blown solution. I don’t suppose you know what the part under the dashboard does do you? I see from the pictures it’s got some kind of metal cylinders but I’m not sure if they just control the flow of...

I have an RHD TD5 and I'd like to fit aircon in preparation for a trip to the Sahara later this year. I think I can find parts for an LHD TD5 out here on the second hand market but I'm not sure what else I'll need to fit it to my vehicle. I know there's that hole in the passenger footwell to let...

Brittanica had a video on how to do them using the string method. He claimed it was much easier. I'm hoping that's true because I've just had my roof off and resprayed so I've got to do two of them.

Thanks for the reply. I was lying in bed last night and realised it’s probably the one that was around the big plug over to timing chain sprocket.
