I've done it both with things left on and loads of masking tape and things stripped off No doubt the latter gives the better result, but then not always looking for a 'show room shine' on a 20 year old Landy!

Nope Tim - very flexi!

Brilliant you got a move alert Yes it should keep sending alerts roughly every 3 mins until you cancel it using the 'nomovexxxxxx' password Don't think there are any customisable commands to stop it just keeping sending, so only think that might be impacting is strength of mobile signal

Fingers crossed!

Now that's a thought if the OP is moving from inside to powering up in the Landy and the immediately going for a drive. Must confess I'd forgotten that Power it up in the Landy. Do the 'check' or phone and hang up test to make sure all working. Leave 15 mins then send the move command and...

Daft thought Is it set to track mode or mionitor mode? trackerxxxxxx and should reply with tracker ok! resetxxxxxx is the master reset command

Very odd - running out of ideas :-( I live very rural too and know (sometimes) there can be a slight delay in the unit sending an acknowldgement text - but rarely more than a 2 - 3 min delay Oh, and did you try the phone the tracker, let it ring 3 times, hang up test - it should reply with...

Just checking the LED status 6.4.1 Red LED indicator on: No GSM network signals. 6.4.2 Red LED indicator flash fast (one time each second): GSM Network signal is normally, and tracker works under GSM mode. 6.4.3 Red LED indicator flashes slowly (one time each three second): Tracker works...

If not working, must be something really odd. I know it's SIM sensitive (woks with 2g not 3g) If still not working, might suggest factory reset and restart installation protocols

Mine is working witth no online tracking enabled I enable the move command - if it moves outside the set distance i get a text every few minutes until i either switch it off or the PAYG SIM runs out of credit! As youre able to send and receive commands your SIM and aerial must be working...

Command needs to be entered as Movexxxxxx 0500 Where xxxxxxx is the 6 digit pin you set and 0500 refers to a 500m radius You can put in whatever distance if you wish - I use 0700 for 700m (avoids false alerts due to satellite drift)

search for arronmorris threads - he's done several They're in the Defender section

Worth checking the two small UJs on the steering shaft

Dont think so - shouldnt be too hard to fabricate something to do the job

300 slightly more refined - but not by much!

Was it one of the ebay recon ones where you return your existing pump, or just a straight sell?

Assuming it was working before and nothing silly like fuse blown due to shorting when installing, guessing one of the wires has either cracked or a connector has come off Might be worrth using a probe to check power to the wiring (by piercing the cable insulation) as close as you can get to...

Looks to be ERC8980 - Dipstick Tube 2.25 and 2.5 Petrol and Diesel 2.5TD 2.5D NA 200TDI and Late Series 3

Make sure well warm before you take it in and remove air filter

Mine go along behind dash, up behind the plastic trim on the side of the windscreen, under the cabin roof trim, down behind the metal the front doors close onto, along underneath the tub capping until they get to the back
