Hi, hope someone has more ideas than me! My Defender has developed a major problem, its blowing fuse 2 in the engine compartment- 60A ignition, and also fuse 20 in main fuse box- alarm. Started last weekend, had just driven home, parked up so I could move the wifes car. Went back to Defender and it would not start. Nothing, position 3 on ignition switch dead. No alarm lights. I have had a go tracing wires, found small wire to starter solenoid had bare copper, sorted that but no joy- when you reach position 3 the alarm goes off and the fuses blow. Could it be the ignition switch or bad earth somewhere? Hope someone can help.

Thanks. Good excuse for some more chequerplate!!

Hi Has any one attepmted to fit a Paddocks Swing Away wheel carrier , that opens with the back door, to a new Paddocks back door. I'm having trouble getting the internal strengthening pieces to fit over the frame on the inside of the door.The strengtheners are a bit narrower than the frame, and I can't seem to open them out. Any ideas? Many thanks. Nigel
