I think I've discovered the cause! It perplexed me that there was current at the connecter under the bonnet, and not at the rear, so I had a scrabble around under the body. This was under a mass of insulating tape at the rear. Thank you all for your help.

OK. I've re-earthed both sides at the rear and checked the earth blocks. Both seem OK. I've also discovered that there's no live feed on any of the wires coming to the rear of the truck except for the red/green LHS indicator, so it looks like the problem is further up the loom. Next stop is...

Thanks both. I'll report back on both of those.

Hello, I have a pre-Defender 90 and it's been sat idle for a couple of months since its MOT. I started it up today, and none of the rear lights are working. No running reds, no brake lights, no fog light, and no RHS indicator. The left rear indicator does work. I've connected a trailer...

And here, have a laugh at my expense: I did. :D

Interesting. That makes life somewhat cheaper. :)

Hi chaps. After a slow-motion accident yesterday when my 1987 90 ended up on its side, and the only option to upright it was to drag it 50yds down a lane on ice, it has become apparent that the driver's side door pillar is mainly made of painted body-filler (b*******), so it'll need replacing...
