I went down there Saturday, there were some shenanigans, heated words, head banging and WTF's? Half the bits weren't on the vehicle, no doors, bonnet, roof liner, dashboard, wheel arches, horn wired to wash bottle, no bulkhead plates or cable grommets fitted etc... (I could go on!) An HGV...

Watch for the next post asking how best to remove a burnt loom :D I am gonna have a bash at it, got a few days to become an Internet qualified Auto electrician.. Thanks for the Advice (and offers of advice) ive no doubt ill be taking you all up on it! Ill post some pics the weekend when i get...

This is why it needed doing! Underneath of the old bulkhead.

He was working with someone who did the electrics, they've parted company. It's been down there for months, I've been patient, given him time enough to sort it out. But enough is enough. I took a couple of photos in the dark when I went down there after I couldn't get hold of him for ages. He...

The loom is through the bulkhead, have asked if the Dash is on and if the engine loom is connected. i think its just the ignition / binnacle that's the problem. was considering getting an auto electrician to go look but if anything else is borked ill have to pay to get it recovered anyway...

Not sure, find out this weekend.... I was told that the connector for the dash was just spade connectors and there wasn't a plug?? Would any old auto electrician be able to fix it or am i best sticking with plan A and recovering it? He seemed like he knew his stuff when he took it on. My...

Hi can any one tell me roughly how long or how much it would cost to reconnect a wiring loom to a 110 200tdi? It has been taken out for a bulkhead swap and the person cant reconnect it for me?! its in Devon, I'm in Bristol so choices are pay someone to do it in situ or recover it and do it from...

Thanks, you prompted me to look online for a pic (the haynes manual isnt clear at all) , took me a while to find a match. The capacitor was in the wrong hole :confused2: the smallest of the three Stadium shapes (didn't know it was called that, more rounded rectangles!) I had to bend the...

Hi all, I have had an issue with my battery not charging, found out there was a small brown lead loose near the alternator, I connected it back to the only place i could see if someone could just verify I have put it in the correct place I'd be really grateful (1st pic), also the capacitor (2nd...

Hi, I've got a 110 van with 4 side windows. There are a few cracks in them and I want to get some new ones before they fall out or crack even more. Does anyone know if these look like standard windows or are they ones someone has had cut and fitted themselves? If they're bespoke ones then any...

Well I have searched the forum and the first culprit is the infamous UJ So I set about changing both UJ's on the front prop shaft. All in all not too bad a job for someone with the mechanical skills of a PG tips chimp. The nasty noises are gone along with the massive clunk when taking up...

I'm not in a big rush the next MOT is 8 months but it will be my only vehicle soon for weekend use. So I want it to be sound and safe. I was thinking of grinding out the rotten foot well with the bulkhead in place. Then riveting the YRM part on then sealing with PU40 (bad idea?) The truck...

Thanks for the replies, The drivers corner under the windscreen has surface rust and the passenger side has already been swapped and primed (doesn't feel like There's any filler under it.) I've ordered the replacement foot well (forgot to order new floor bolts doh!) And I'll have a go this...

Hi, im a landrover virgin (awaiting Haynes manuals to be delivered!) I have a few 'Holes' in the bulkhead, I know it adds character but I want to patch them until I can get a Galvanised one fitted (after it's next MOT hopefully) Pic one is of the passenger side foot well, will this be able to...

Ok maybe I was little bit over optimistic. After reading a few posts a watertight Defender seems to be quite a rarity haha.. Thanks :)

Hi, just acquired a landie 1994 110 200tdi with the intention of fixing her up for a road trip. I know there's some work to be done! Has a galv chassis, fearne intercooler, galv roof rack, sump and diff guards, heated screen, 2 inch lift (brit part..) bfg wheels, at 2 grabbers, Split air...
