Ok so far unplugging and plugging it back it didn't fix it, but we all know it is always worth a try. I did get my electric fan to start working by redoing the ground so thats a plus. Getting into the steering column and dash tomorrow. I can...

Check for 12v at the ignition switch.. maybe it's not sending power in the accessory position

I am worried the gages may just be broken. The lights in them still work, but needles aren't going anywhere. I will at least try a hard reset. Can't hurt. The flashers have me a bit more stumped

All my tubes (on the steering column)look good and pass a continuity test. Same for my installed fuses, on the dash. So unless there are fuses someplace else

You jumped in quick before I added the last line lol

I was swapping out a bad battery (i have two) and i had forgotten to to the accessory power off. The wrench sparked once, but otherwise everything went smoothly. However, now my flashers won't come on in any capacity, and the electric tach, and...

720 deg C Max Search web for Bosch VE injection pump article by Peterson well worth a read for some reason annot attach the PDF.

I'm in this camp. If someone is going to break into my car and steal something (around here it would be low-lifes looking for loose change to go toward their next fix), I'd rather they didn't break a window to do it. If I leave something...

"fortunately" this has been such a long project there were never many miles put on the vehicle at all, and it sat for the last 2+. Ot drives (predictably) better than ever now! All new sideframes, floor panels, clutch master and slave, brake...

Here is a story from long ago. In 1983 when the first 110 coil sprung Land Rovers came on the market Land Rover decided to have a 2x4 system option available thinking that many byers would be coming from having Series Land Rovers that had the...

Sorry, it took me so long to catch on. I am rightly embarrassed.

@Grebby man. . . .ok so I KNOW 2-3 years ago when I was driving this I had it in what I thought was 2wd. . .means I must have had the diff locked the whole time. In fact it came to me that way to me, because I know I didn't mess with the TCase. I...

@tottot it is a 1978, but it came with the old NA 2.5 diesel. It is definitely a Frankenbtruck. Thats' why i am happy to bolt it together any way that works. It seems that you and @Grebby are telling me the front hubs should always be locked...

OK I think I had my head wrapped around this. So I have proved my Tcase CAN send power to the rear axle, it just isn't unless the diff is locked, meaning that (since both front wheels are on the ground) something is disconnected in the front...

A normal Lt230 fitted vehicle would never have free wheel hubs fitted. The system being full time 4 wheel drive so there would be no point. The only way it would drive with free wheel hubs not locked is with the center lock engaged, otherwise...

UPDATE: I think my Tcase selector linkage may have been put in wrong/weird. After messing with it a lot, I put it as far back and to the left as it would go. This to me should be High-locked. The rear driveshaft is finally spinning, but when I...

tottot, Thank you for the reply. I am dying over here and the helps means a lot. The vehicle is on the ground in my garage. The only way the vehicle will move is with the front hubs locked. I have tried putting the Tcase is every position i...

OK so first lesson on how the Lt 230 works. It is a permanent four wheel drive system where drive is sent to all four wheels at all times. To allow for different wheel speeds you have the normal differential's in the axles and to allow different...

Hello, I am trying tonget my '78 Santana 109" with a 200tdi-lt77-lt230 up and moving after years. I thought I had it, but the monster has other plans. Here's the issue in as much details as I can muster: I shift into gear and I have no drive. I...

The above only works if you hold the clutch pedal down while doing it.

Clutch has probally rusted to the flywheel. If the brakes work….start in a gear & sometime jamming the brakes on frees it up

Greetings, I have a Series III with a 200tdi/LT77 conversion. It has been sitting a couple years. I went to move it and the clutch went to the floor. I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders. I can not get the transmission to operate...
