Thanks for the help Mystery. I gave up looking for a relay that was the same as the Glow Plug Relay that i had ordered. I looked everywhere. In the end I stuck a relay into the plug tht was empty under the drivers side seat. Ran the diagnostic check and the fault code came off. I have a pscan...

As Flossie said. Replace both at the same time, as taking the dash off twice when the other onegoes will be annoying. Don't fiddle with the grub screw on the spindle, just cut them off as you are replacing them as part of the wiper box. I had to fit a Britpart one and a genuine one as my local...

Thanks Scooby. Ill check this when I go on the Glow Plug Relay hunt later!

Ok - so I've established that the Glow Plug Relay insnt under the RH seat as its supposed to be, and so now I will just have to trace the wires back from the glow plugs (Ive checked some previous posts on here and someone had exactly the same problem but wasn't resolved. My 1999MY doesn't have...

Hi everyone As with everything on this rebuild I went to change the GlowPlug Relay which is located under the passenger seat, and guess what? Yup, no relays under the seat! Does anyone know where the relay could be? I did find a connector which didnt have a relay but didnt have the same...

Hi mate I got a great pair from Gumtree for £80, so they definitely do come up. Theres a couple of Defenders breaking on Ebay, so the wings are out there.

Hi Mate I feel your pain. I had similar issues and basically chased them until I just decided to replace the lot. I replaced the two wiper boxes with the spindles on, the wiper cable, wiper motor, intermittent switch and relay. Now the wipers work exactly as they should. The cost wasn't too bad...

Hi everyone I've just done a diagnostic check of my 2000 TD5 and apart from the usual errors relating to options that I don't have for air con and abs, there are two codes 3070 and 3103 which are "Glow plug relay drive open load active". Landy starts no problem and I suppose just because I'm...

Hi everyone Over the last few days my fuel gauge has been showing the wrong reading sometimes and the correct reading others. What i mean by this is when I turn the ignition switch it either; goes straight to the correct level and "behaves" as normal and goes down depending on distance goes to...

Hi mate Ive just rebuilt a 2000 TD5 Defender with my daughter. Most of the advisories are pretty simple to do. If I could offer some advice when you come to buy your Defender I would say that you will need to accept that you will need to get your hands dirty at some point! However they aren't...

I should have done that in the first place! There was some oil dripping from it when it was in place so I hope that if it has been replaced it was replaced with the correct one! I will order up a new tapered one anyway and keep an eye on it Thanks for all your help

Just checked with micrometer and there is a taper

oooooosh that was quick

Hi Everyone My oil pressure light has been flickering occasionally so Im going to change the oil pressure switch as its been in there since 1999 and dead easy to get out. Typically, the TD5 had two different type threads for their oil pressure switch and this was decided during fitting on the...

Put Landy in last week to the MOT garage and failed on headlight adjustment, wipers not covering the screen and engine management light. So I swapped out the to two wiper boxes and the cable, which wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and took about an hour all together. Remember to...

Hi everyone First off apologies for all the posts recently but I'm so close to getting Landy back on the road. The OSF wing indicator isn't working on my 2000 TD5 defender. I don't know if it worked when I got her as I basically stripped her down straight away (first schoolboy error). I then...

Thanks for the reply. I think the light is a LED. Ive got a couple of minor things to sort and then I'll put her through the MOT. Cheers

Hi everyone, I have almost finished my renovation of my TD5 2000 defender which I started in July 2019. Ive got two things to sort before it goes for her MOT, OFS wing repeater is not working (I should have checked before I refitted the inner and out wing - ahhhhhhhhh) and the Immobiliser...

Hi everyone Ithought that I would update on the immobiliser problem incase anyone else had a similar problem. After many months of checking through things I have cured it (I hope). Basically I removed the dash and took out pin 5 of the 10AS unit. This has stopped the horn sounding twice and...

Update on the immobiliser problem, it starts first time now but probably 1 out of 5 turns of the key the horn stays on. I switch off and start again and its ok. When the horn is going off the engine still runs. Baffling me at the moment. The speedo has a red light that flashes when the engine is...
