[One Head Light]

Hello all

With the coming months its become much darker in the mornings down here in the Falkland islands and i often use my head lights going to work in the morning 

but I switch them on this morning and one comes on at normal brightness while the other is much dimmer 

is it just the bulb going? What's happening?

Cheers Tom

Hi guys 

I’ve just looked at a 110 200tdi for a mate and it’s been an experience 

The sequence goes 

start engine 

turn all lights on 

apply foot brake 

turn key to off 

engine still runs 

take foot off brake 

engine stops 

pump foot brake 

headlights flash 

 

Help me guys I’m completely lost

[2.4 Puma lack of Power]

Hi Tim 

by large service what do you mean? What was replaced? was it a reconditioned turbo?

I dont know the pumas as well as the old girls but when my old discovery 200 tdi lost power i had issues with my lift pump and fuel filter

could be a faulty pump at the rear? 

Hope this helpe

Just out of curiosity how difficult is it to put a new reverse light in? There is no original unit on the rover for some reason 🤷‍♂️

Hey guys tom again 

so my indicators died on me mysteriously 

I've traced back the indicator wires from each indicator light back to the relay and I've changed the relay but still nothing what have i missed?

Could it be the actual unit in the steering column that gone?

Same starter motor as the 200Tdi engine, check the small white/red trace cable is connected to the solenoid spade terminal nice & tightly.
