Pity about the spots, and that aren’t doors. Mudflaps I’d be interested in. Can you give price and location? Ready to visit for collection.

Hello, I’m in NI too. In Belfast. Looking for some parts, inc some you’ve listed like spots and mudflats. But also looking for other parts. Doors aren’t on your list are they?

Have been out and looked under drivers side rear where a loom is lurking. Course,note I’m a complete wiring-novice, and what I don’t see is any particular wiring heading off towards a chassis point. Could be I’ll need to check again as I imagine the earth wire is there or thereabouts. I also had...

Cheers for the heads up re Earth point. Advice taken.

Thanks for getting back on this. I will check it out tomorrow and let you know result of doings.

Thanks for that advice, and info re earths. I will check it tomorrow and get back to you. Have a good one regardless.

Ok, thanks. But can I press you on the specifics. I’m not up on electrics and the earthing problem suggests, to me, I find where there is a grounded earth point on the vehicle associated with the fuel sender and clean it til it’s better connected. Is that close to an understanding of the matter...

Here’s my most recent of the many problem points with an 01 td5. Hopefully someone has the expertise I’ve yet to gain. It’s a fuel guage/sender/pump/electrical conundrum I present to you. So.. Fuel gauge when ignition off, the needle sits at the E/empty mark. When ignition switched on fuel...

And I would like to come back with positive news. Other than a lot of learning has been made over this process, the latest news might have some of you wondering why, oh why. So, took the motor apart to ‘check’ bushes inside. Long story short, once put back together again, the motor wasn’t keen...

So, an update for those bothered- The wiper motor was working without any obvious signs of wear or whatever when it’s cap at the end was removed. Of note I think is that even with the drivers side wiper off, and thus lightening the general load, when the psssengers side had the wiper fitted, the...

Try again- CAVEY. Jaysus.

Thanks again, CAEY- apologies for different name calling.

Hi Casey, thanks. Yes, the wiper arm will sweep seemingly normally when not laid on the window.. no fuses have been blowing so I think it’s something else, and likelihood it’ll be the motor innards. I’ve taken it off and put it back on so many times over recent times, changing cables, properly...

hi mick, No the top wasn’t bent too much. Then, afterwards the whole wheel assembly was replaced and it’s clear that there’s a connection between cable and cog in the assembly but not enough pull in it to get the cog to shift when resistance caused by load.

Hi, Thanks for that. unfortunately I’d watched that video last week, did as they’d suggested with bending top of wheel box, to null effect. Currently, with a new wheel box, I can clearly see there is contact between cable and cog in the wheel box when the wiper arm is off. What’s happening is...

Cheers for the swift response. On your points then: the drivers side spindle moves around when active without any difficulty, when the wiper is or isn’t on the passenger side. As I’d said, without the wiper on the spindle, everything goes according to plan. As soon as the wiper arm is attached...

Defender, ‘01, 110. Recently the passenger’s wiper locked up and refused to sweep as per normal and as per driver’s side. I’ve dismantled the assembly, replaced cable with new, replaced wheel bracket, spindle etc with new, changed wiper arms but still the set up on passengers side will only run...

Thanks for these replies. I had thoughts of a hatch to access the tank top and it’s connections last time the tank was removed, a long while back now. But, of course, I didn’t. As to the electrical connections you mention, it’s clear that this would be above my pay grade and I’m hesitating to...

Yes, that’s another option. And as you’ll expect I’m probably hoping it won’t need for me to take out the fuel tank as that’s a job and a bit, and cold weather wouldn’t help my bones doing that job. The reason I’d kind of ruled out an earthing issue, rightly or wrongly, was because the gauge...

I’m looking for advice re a fuel gauge that’s faulty. It’s in a Defender 110 Td5, now in its 20th year. It has been recently attended to for a number of issues, one of which was the replacement of a fuel pump. I’ve been checking here and find that one possible cause would be the new fuel pump...
