plasticbadger Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hi all, I just picked up my 'new' 300Tdi, bought unseen through ebay and all is not well (surprise!). It's a 1996 P reg with 169k on the clock, limited crusty bits and drives really well, however there's some issues I wanted some help with: The rear electric windows don't work from any switch- possible window ECU joints fault? The rear wiper doesn't work, though the dirt says it did recently - boot earth? Relay? The electric mirrors don't work - no idea! The heater fan only works when you balance the control between 2 and 3 - I guess you get that! Other than that its dirty, smelly and cheap!

dirtyninety Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You've checked fuses right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yep, pulled over on the way home from collecting it. All fuses are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Windows - try swapping the switches about first. If not see if any voltage at connectors first, then worry about the ecu (it's fiddly to extract) Rear wiper - could be a broken wire in the rear door loom. Try the MFU test procedure (it's in Rave) to eliminate that first. Mirrors - could just be the switch Heater fan - think you need a new switch for that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydie Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My guess its the infamous MFU. If any of the doors are open the rear wiper will not operate, why this is so is beyond reasoning but thats a function of the MFU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Not sure if you know where the MFU lives but it is behind the under dash fuse board. What color is it on your car? Black ones gave endless grief but the cream ones are better but still go wrong due to them being a "ROVER" part LOL. Does the rear window wiper not work at all? What about wash-wipe?

JimDay Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Rear wiper wont work with the drivers door open it's a Land Rover thing the rear windows could be a dry solder joint in the window ECU which is fitted behind the glove box there is a way of putting the MFU into a self checking mode but you would have to search the forums for the sequence it's on here as I used it to check mine door mirrors could be the change over switch ( this was faulty on mine ) just sprayed it with contact cleaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
