Thanks kwakerman... just spent an hour under the rear wheel arch. Some muppet had connected the towing electrics... and I kid you not... by taking a feed off the lighting ring and literally twisting the wires together and wrapping in insulation tape... needless to say the wires were all corroded...

Hi, Apologies if in the wrong forum, tried the "common faults" forum but could not find the "new thread" button. I'm trying to diagnose an issue with my towing electrics. The indicators work but nothing else does. I seem to be getting about 4v at the side lights, 6v at the brake lights. All...

I'm short (5' 7) and the two other front seat occupants will be 8 and 6 years old... they don't need legroom... stick them in the back and there's no room for anything else

So I'm about to bite the bullet... currently doing my research... and I'm sure I'll have a few questions along the way. I've pretty much decided on a Td5, post '52 plate, van with 3 seats up front and probably add 1 forward facing in the rear at some point in the near future. Not after anything...

Like many, I have coveted a Defender since I was a youngster... well I'm about to bite the bullet... call it a mid life crisis, call it whatever you want... it's happening...! I'm not after a blinged up City 4x4... just a plain old Td5, reliable (!), comfortable (!!) and waterproof (!!!)...
