    Defender Spotlamp Nudge Bar on D1

    Bull bars for the D1 like the previous RR slotted through the under bumper spoiler to bolt onto the leading edge of the chassis. Then for the D1 there’s the A bar and made of … shall we say made of plastic and foam, which appears to me a lot lighter and a bit thinner but even that is only an...

    D1 Tachometer issue

    The ignition warning light and rev counter are two different circuits, turning the switch to position 2 the lamp should illuminate and the spinning alternator turns it off, the alternator supplies a pulse signal for the rev counter, now its possible that you have a faulty alternator, the new...

    DISCOVERY 1 OBD OR NOT OBD?? and REPLACEMENT KEY??

    Well 1990 V8 thats a classic if it’s one of the first EFI D1. What ever the age of D1s they just have a standard key that can be copied at most shoe repair shops. As the vehicle has central locking with a remote fob but the alarm wasn’t a standard when it left the factory, and option fitted by...

    Fuel pump woes

    For the classic RR, PRC7475 up to Vin GA414221 & from Vin GA412223 PRC3818. Nothing shown for the HA Vin in my 724 parts book 😊 Only one number for the 3.9 VA Vin disco PRC9409

    TD5 stereo code input

    Depending on where you are in the world, and if the head unit is the factory fitted one, u could pop into your friendly LR main dealer and ask if they could could find the code on their vehicles build data base, u may be lucky. Much easer to remove the unit and take it to a repair shop…if they...

    Upper two pistons not moving in both front calipers

    My RRc knowledge only goes up to the 1992MY but I believe that all 1990s classic models had the same ABS system so with your abs system you will find additional bleed screws at the accumulator and and the hydraulic booster, both next to the abs unit the system is bled in a “very strict...

    Ignition Problem(Relays)???

    D1 suspension - improve ride quality?

    The best of luck with that.😊 The D1 fitted with steel springs was pretty hard even when when it left the factory. The early RR is/was a “softer, floater ride” so u can try fitting springs with the same spec for that vehicle, but you will have fit a self- levelling system like the Borge strut...

    Ok now that clear 👍 it appears that the ignition load relay is isn’t operating correctly when the ignition switch is in position 2. So iffy relay due to no 12v supply, or burnt relay contacts not closing if the relay is operating. Swap the relay with the one next door, or any of the yellow...

    Wasn’t you bridging a relay supply to the coil directly and running the fan, therefore bypassing the operating switch circuit? D1 Windows have an electronic control unit ECU for four windows to control and interfaced with other bits and bobs if fitted to the vehicle, so has three fused feeds to...

    Ok by now you have the blower relay confusingly called ignition load relay, and hopefully you have now found the front wiper relay. The mirrors don't have a relay and the electric windows has only an ECU. As far as a “short” in electrical terms that means a fuse has blown, if fitted and if not...

    Second key

    Could an early RR or disco1 key or later models with the security fob attached on the same key ring for remote central locking. If you think its a land rover key a main dealer service dept would confirm it is.

    Your assumption is okay, as DVLA say that when a private plate is removed the vehicle will be given a age related plate.
