It was a bulb. I'd fogotten it was a double filament. Fixed the washer bottle problem too, a broken wire on the lever, an earth wire by the look of it. Soldered it and all sorted. Thanks

Anyone got any ideas on what could be causing D90 brake lamps not to work? New fuses and lamps. When the car lights are on the brake lamps don't come on but the rear driving lamps go off when you press the brake pedal. Also, washer bottle not working. When i press wiper arm there is no pump...

I'm thinking of selling my Defender 90 and i wonder if you might be able to help me set a sales price on it. Details are: 1994 TDi 300 Red with white roof almost 145,000 miles 2 inch lift (Bearmach springs, Pro Comp shocks) Rock sliders Diff guards Full steering guard BFG Mud Terrain on...

That's good enough for me, i'll swap out the box. Thanks. Now then, where can i get a box at a good price, used but no play will do me.

Had a couple of days of work on the landy and the judder-wobble has gone. The bearings were fine, but the nuts were both loose. Took a shim out of both swivel housing and it's brilliant now. Steering still has play and after looking at oil on drop arm it must be the power steering box, so i need...

Both sides have amounts of one shot which oozes out onto the chrome swivel ball, not much. The left side is removed now with the whole axle out i did notice that it has a lot of shims of different sizes on - which i didn't know what they were for until i just did some reading on it. if that is...

Could it be swivel pins?

Drop arm ball joint replaced about 2 years ago, track rod ends replaced last January

Just looked at the PAS overhaul section of the manual. Your son must be in MENSA, not sure i can do that. is there an overhaul kit for these?

Thanks

For some time i have had a weird wheel/axle/hub wobble on the front left side of my D90 (1994) TDi 300. I'll be travelling along about 30mph and suddenly it will start wobbling in a lateral way as if something is loose. Whenever i check the hub locking nuts and washer are all tight, the bearings...

Thanks, i did the motorfactors thing and git tetroschutz. Angle grinder has bust now. Just stopped working while grinding some rust off. Do they burnt out. Are they repairable?

Can anyone recommend a cheap source of shutz type underseal? I've done a big cleanup underneath and a lot has been blasted away, so i want to re-coat it. In the past i have used Dinitrol and Machine Mart Shutz with my compressor, but i want to do it on the cheap this time.

Thanks for those brilliant replies and advice. What i meant by test probe was one of those screwdrivers with a lamp in it and a wire with crocodile clip at the end. I removed the + battery lead from the battery and attached the clip of the probe to the positive on the battery and then touched...

Just did a test between battery Positive (with lead disconnected) to fuse box. Nearly everything in there lights up the bulb in my test probe. Is that normal?

Thanks very much for these suggestions. I will get a solar trickle charger and i will follow that brilliant advice on diagnosing the current draw. I do have a multimetre, but not surte without looking at the manual to ee if it reads current. Really appreciate this advice. Will let you know how i...

Yes, there must be a drain, or i just killed the battery in the early stages by not waiting for the 'coil' light to go out. In my 1994 Defender there is not a coil lamp, but a choke symbol and i read that there was no need to wait for it to go off. Obviously starting was an issue in the cold...

Just had the alternator and battery tested and the alternator is fine and the battery is dead, it's down to 24%, so i am looking to replace with a good strong one. The dead one is a 690 amp Banner, so any suggestions for a good replacement would be great.

I seem to be having my annual battery problems on my D90 TDi 1994. I teste dthe alternater yesterday and the output is perfect, checked and cleaned terminals on starter motor but my battery is drained this morning. It could be the starter motor or it could just be a knackered battery, which i am...

New matrix arrived today, all done except can't work out how to set the cables which control the vents for hot/cold air and floor/window direction. i marked them with tipex but the one on the side does not seem to move. Any tips on setting these just right?
