After having the dash off and cleaning up the connections behind for all the electrics, i seem to have gained a friend, now the Brake light likes to come on when it chooses, ive checked and its not losing fluid so im assuming electrical fault somewhere, it may have been wanting to come on...

is it possible to remove the plug from the outside? or is it a box apart job? Cheers Chris

Should i drill and tap the insert, or the ali box itself, gunna be a week before i can do it so ive got plenty of time to worry about the box destroying itself :( Thanks for your help Chris

is it just a steel insert then i take it? so it should be easy to drill and tap just don't want to go through and damage something important. cheers chris

would drilling/tapping and plugging this hole have any effect? what is it actully for? Thanks again for your help Chris

Heres a pic (hopefully) showing where it is, when i wipe it clean it can be seen slowly seeping back, but it is from there Cheers for your help Chris

The hole is near these, slightly further back towards t box, i can only find pictures of this area for lt77 boxes and those pics show a plug as (according to haynes book) apparently there is a drain plug here, but i cant find pics for r380 box Gunna go and see if camera will take a decent...

Sorry forgot to mention, its an r380 box I know what hole the oil is comming from, just dont know what the hole is for. The hole is the furthest one back before the transfer box and very close to the joint between the two, on the underside, and seems to have a brass insert (?) from what i can...

Trying to indentify the source of a gearbox oil leak. It appears to be coming from the 'main gearbox extension housing' (as identified in the Haynes book)- the area betweent he gearbox and the transfer box. Are there any breathers/drain holes/preassure release valves in this area? Ill try and...

Ive got a former Yorkshire Electric 110 Special Vehicles build, pto winch and roofrack, told insurance about both, all they asked was 'are they factory fitments, if so no problem' That was Aviva. Its on the forms as a special vehicles build with winch and rack, asked about a standard van version...

Cheers for the helpful suggestions, as for the rest, why? if you have nothing useful to contribute why say anything? if you needed help i doubt you'd appreciate it, and you clearly had the time, you just wasted it trying to think of something sarcastic to say :)

When i let go of the wheel, my landy (110 special vehicles) pulls gently to the left, its nothing drastic, just enough that the wheel has to be held to go in a straight line, also, on a possibly related note, with the wheels straight the steering wheel is slightly turned to the left, bout an...

Theres nothing wrong with running a Landy as a student, im doing it myself :)

Yeah, the wiring is there from the loom, 2 open spades, but nothing for them to connect to Going to rig up a switch to serve for now so i can see to reverse, and sort something more permenant when ive got time, just wondered if anyone had come across this before

Has anyone come across this before. Whilst investigating why the reverse light doesnt work on my newly aquired Defender 110, i discover'd that it doesnt have a switch, at all, on top of the box (r380) where it should be, the casting is correct, but just isnt drilled and tapped, therefore no...
