Just fitted Mud dash console. Needing to connect spade connectors to back of ciggy lighter/ rear screen wiper button but lost SD card with pics showing what wire goes where. Don't have it in front of me but 4 terminals on back of lighter if I recall. Simple pic of connections would be nice if...

Hello After cooking portions of my main loom it now has to be replaced (thanks to a poxy short at the fag lighter- bloody smokers!). It is on order from Autosparks including a separate instrument harness. I am planning on plugging it into the chassis loom and engine bay harnesses that currently...

After getting some electrical glitches seen to, this morning I had toxic plastic smoke come billowing out from the steering column of my 110 TD/200tdi :eek: After clearing my lungs, I was able to get it back to the same crowd for another overhaul. They are top guys with an outstanding...

I have no 'P' or 'BRAKE !' warning lights illuminating on my dash and it just failed a BC provincial inspection following import because of it. I noticed I have no wire on the PDWA valve in engine compartment- Is this the culprit? (If not, what is the sender on the valve for?). Ta Defender...

I 'project managed' it, sending it off to various 'specialists'. Mostly a bunch of shiesters who left me with huge amounts of work to do when vehicle came back. Galvanised chassis, reconditioned engine (which I now suspect was never opened!) bodywork (thankfully, an amazing job and a top...

I have just realised I didn't refit the interior roof light following my rebuild. I now have a couple of loose wires under my roof liner. Is this gonna cause me issues? haven't been using vehicle much to find out so far. Tempted just to leave it if no issues likely.

Will get it out tonite and give it some! The WD40 that is. Thanks. That other block looks sizeable and like it should be doing something important. Me and wiring diagrams 'aint a great combination. Got me a circuit tester yesterday and while basic principles are OK I wouldn't have any...

The fella who did my chassis-off job needs shootin'. Now that the exhaust is fixed with nuts and bolts instead of cable ties(!) I now need to sort out whatever he did to the electrics. So help please: -Vehicle 110 200tdi. -Side lights come on no bother but dipped lights don't come on at second...

The type I am considering ie 3500lb is as small as they come. I suspected the weight wasn't an issue but just wanted to get the vehicle as good as I can. Thanks for the responses. This kind of thing would not be an uncommon site here on Vancouver Island but most likely behind a 7.3L Dodge...

My 110 finally made it to Vancouver Island and I am looking into getting a travel trailer (caravan) for weekend trips and fishing trips. Now, the 'trailers' over here are monsters compared to european equivalents and to be honest look **** but I'm going to take the plunge anyway. Basically a...

Since my rebuild (new doors) I am having multiple issues with the door lock mechanisms. If its not the outer push button handle not releasing the door, its the interior door release not working. If not that, I have to at least hold up the button to allow door to release. I reckon with the...

Thanks. I am now 5000 miles away on Vancouver Island and looking forward to getting some very odd looks on the roads. Weekends are out I'm afraid! I am sure despite my best efforts getting her straight mine will still require all the time I have:D

I'm not sure if there is a more appropriate place for this. Feel free to move it if so. After 9 months of blood, sweat and tears here she is. A restored 1988 110 CSW, 47k vehicle miles but with 200tdi replacing 2.5td engine. Engine miles uncertain prior to rebuild. The basic work done was as...

OK, I feel like a knob but problem sorted. I had wired up the head unit and run the speaker cable, front and rear. I have no amp. Last night I only got around to connecting the front speakers. They distorted as above. Tonite I hooked up the rear speakers and hey presto, it all works. I actually...

To go with the rest of my vehicle overhaul, thought it would be nice to hear the stereo! Some serious sound proofing later my easy ICE install doesn't work! Replaced original head unit and front under-dash speakers. Upgraded speaker wire and soldered connections. Problem: OK at low volume (but...

Can anyone vouch for these fitting a 200tdi 110? I had a look underneath and couldn't see how the mounting bracket could fit to the rear chassis leg. The rear section exhaust silencer looks in the way. Ta

I have a defender 200tdi engine. After getting chassis galvanised and engine reconditioned, found out the chassis guy did a half job putting things back together. He is just one issue away from a solicitors letter. Latest issue is battery running low on a short run. Had a look underneath bonnet...

Hi I just fitted some Bilstein B6 shocks from Paddocks on my 110 CSW with new genuine springs. Ride is now transformed. My 2 cents.

I have a defender 200tdi engine on a 110 2.5TD chassis. I assume it has a 200tdi front section exhaust off the turbo but can't be sure. Are 2.5TD exhaust sections interchangeable with defender 200tdi spec equivalents? I ask because I have a 200tdi straight through mid section to fit (not sure...

Yeah, just seen pics of mine all stripped at bodyshop and battery lid is significantly bigger than drivers side- bugger!
