Wow Jamo, Great response, this gives me plenty to get on with. it is a 1996 300tdi in a brown shade of white..... i havent done any electrical tinkering in the last few years, i installed an amp (yes i know, but now i have a nice sound..) but that was all wired individually aside form the fuse...

Hi All, I have been looking into this on the forum and just cant put my finger on it. Im hoping if I describe the problem below, one of you will just say, ‘Ah, just change the doodaa…’ Hoping…. So, I have a 300tdi defender, love it, but recently on the way home the head lights have just...

Quick update, During a good hail storm whilst on the motor way, the car locked itself and almost all the faults just went away!? here is the list of what now works that didnt before::o • central locking not kicking in after 5mpph • front and rear electric heated windows not working...

Saint, you have been very helpful the last few days, the washers are not working - just discovered, on the headlamps, or the wipers but thats not surprising i will remove fuse 28 to save the hassle of another dead batter just in case till i get the faults cleared. just an update - the...

Just woke up this morning to find a flat battery..... the plot thickens......

Hi Guys, thanks for all the info, im on a steep learning curve. An update - i manages to source the leak to a blocked passanger side drain hole from the sunroof. i managed after alot of mucking about to unblock it by sticking a biro tube acting as a tube down the top hole, sealed with blue...

Wow, thanks for all the info. theres a lot to digest and it seems i need to get the diagnostic kit. Thanks again, ill update with some news on fixes. just checked the relevant fuses and they all seem fine. . . which is sort of a shame. i had a RR classic and the sunroof leaked into the...

Hi All, I have just gone from Defender to Range rover and its been an interesting transition. i think i miss the simple life. Right, ill get started. im just going to list all the faults that ive experienced since buying the car a month ago underneath and hopefully someone will just say,'oh...

i am still a little concerned that as the wheels are turning i can move the lever over from doff lock to normal without feeling anything or getting any grinding noises... its as though it does nothing... just a thought.

Thanks guys, Diffs do confuse me...so what i am getting is normal..... i presume. thanks for the tips on turning circles, handy over here in the mountains!

Hi All, I now have two identical white Defender 110 300tdi's from 1996 but boy are they different and i have a few queries... One is a 'Special Vehicles' edition with plating and seems to sit a lot higher than the county. it also has a slightly better interior and the turning circle is so...
