    NO ABS/TC/HD lights on dash

    Going to check this weekend, just checked then and I do have a HDC light that then turns off. Still nothing in the others. Are the LEDS just removable or are the soldered on for behind the TC and ABS?

    NO ABS/TC/HD lights on dash

    hello, I have just bought a discovery 2 1999. Now I have it home I have noticed when I turn the ignition on (before starting) there is no ABS/TC/HDC light on the dash. I’m guessing someone had a three amigos problem and decided they don’t want the lights on but I have no idea where to start...

    My Series 3 Lightweight ground up ongoing rebuild

    Haha, yes there is fuel in the tanks. I checked the pump when it arrived and i could get fuel to pump out but now it won’t pump anything. Priming the lines will fuel is a good idea though I’ll get on that tomorrow. Spent so long on this now really just want it running!!

    My Series 3 Lightweight ground up ongoing rebuild

    My Series 3 Lightweight ground up ongoing rebuild

    Haven’t posted in an age but I have been making progress, still need to find out why I can’t get fuel past the fuel pump to bleed it and also need to work out why the gearbox doesn’t seem to be playing ball but apart from that very happy with where I’ve got to!!

    No high or low range

    Also, what would happen if the clutch plate was put in backwards? Would the clutch never be able to disengage? Or would the engine and the gearbox never be linked?

    No high or low range

    Any ideas on how I can check/look to see if this is the problem?

    No high or low range

    Right then, so my lightweight has been going through abit of a restoration for years and years, today I went to check the gearbox was working properly, and the 4wd yellow lever won’t stay depressed at all when in high range and the red level doesn’t seem to have the ablility to go into high or...

    only 2Volts at the Lucas 6 way switch

    Been out today, fairly sure I had the relays wired up wrong- I bypassed the first relay and directly connected the brown live to the brown and purple light switch wire. Disconnected the brown and yellow wire from the relay and all is sorted. To be fair I should probably clean up those relays and...

    only 2Volts at the Lucas 6 way switch

    Also is the relay needed..... like what does it do? I have very limited knowledge on them. Can I just wire straight through without the relay as I’m not using the IR switch or lights

    only 2Volts at the Lucas 6 way switch

    only 2Volts at the Lucas 6 way switch

    the lights haven’t even been wired up yet, still just on the main looms. I’ve tested the relays and neither seem to be a N/C

    only 2Volts at the Lucas 6 way switch

    right then, finally nearing completion of my 1974 series 3 lightweight and i thought id get the lights all in order. the car had been messed about with lots before i owned it so correct me if im wrong in thinking that i should have 2 relays, one of which that should be the AUX relay and this...
