My suggestion for the pedal lock is -

X-Cell

as your pedals are locked-up secure and it excells at the job of doing it.

But this name doesn't really allow for expansion of the product range.

HI Paul

I will building the wiring loom and will be modding the switch as per the thread from Martin further up the page.

On that basis do I need a different switch? Or is the one you sent me suitable? I have a feeling I need the non latching Defender HFS switch (YUG000460LNF) and then carry on the mod to the switch as per your instructions on the LRO thread.

Sorry as always for the silly questions.

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

The latching switch I sold you isn't suitable for use with Martin's circuit, using the VWP latching relay.

You need the standard non-latching switch, modified internally (as shown here - http://www.lro.com/f...=678736#p678736) to make it a momentary 'Live' switch, rather than the momentary 'Earth' switch it is as standard.

There are no silly questions, I'm always happy to help

Regards,

Paul.

Hi Paul

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead, but could you please tell me if Pin 2 on the switch is the Dash Illumination feed?

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob,

The latching, live-switching HFS switch I sold you, is wired as follows -

Terminal 1 - Fused Live IN
Terminal 2 - Dash Illumination
Terminal 3 - Not Used
Terminal 4 - Switched Live OUT (to Relay)
Terminal 5 - Earth

We always called them 'Thomas Bins'.

They're quite robust (heavy!) and versatile.

I've got one fitted in my 110 -

If you need a copy of RAVE -

I've zipped and uploaded a couple of editions of RAVE to Extabit (for some reason, Extabit wouldn't let me upload FreeRave_1.36.rar), the .zip files are here -

DII TD5 & V8 (Pre-Facelift), Range Rover P38, Freelander 1 (up to 2001), Defender 300Tdi, V8i and TD5 (1999-2001) - RAVE_2001.zip

DII TD5 & V8 (Post-Facelift), Freelander 1 (2001 onwards) - RAVE_2003.zip

You don't need a Premium Account to download them, you can do it for free, if you look down the page, under the PayPal logo, you'll find the link to the free download -

"I have no money, I want download for free"

The .zip archives, will unpack to a folder called RAVE_2001 and RAVE_2003 respectively, from which you can run RAVE, by double-clicking the RAVE.exe file.

Thanks guys, but CutePDF doesn't work - Adobe just has an error if you try to open the resulting file. Looks like I'm stuck with printing off the pages I need.

I downloaded a tool called FreeRave (I tried attaching the .rar file to this message, but the forum doesn't allow them as attachments)

PM me your email address and I'll send it to you.

I got the tool from an Argentinian Land Rover Owners forum called 'LandRoverTec' - which doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Here's what the originator posted -

RAVE

Years ago the Rover group launched RAVE, the digital technical information system for its vehicles. RAVE is a series of CDs covering different lines and models providing basically

Workshop Manuals
Overhaul Manuals
Electrical Troubleshooting Manuals
PDI and Maintenance Manuals
Repair Times Manuals
Technical Brochures
Special Service Tools Catalogs

RAVE runs on Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XT, Vista). The information is contained on encrypted PDF files using a security system. The security schema allows the display of the files only within certain dates, it does not allow to open the PDFs directly with the Acrobat reader, instead, it comes with a wrapper application (Rave.exe or TData.exe) that launches an old Acrobat reader 4.0 contained on every CD. If we would like to see the PDF files with our already installed Acrobat 7, 8, 9.. we'll fail, if we would like to see the files on a Mac we will also fail.

All the things we are mentioning here make the perfect scenario for a obsolescence case where soon or later the Rave.exe or the required Acrobat 4.0 will not work any longer...

The attached file (FreeRave_1.36.rar) when installed allows to convert the RAVE PDF files one by one or the whole CD with a mouse click.

So far the conversion works on RAVE LR (English & Spanish) Rave Rover, Rave MG and Rave Mini.

Instructions:

Copy the whole content of any RAVE CD to a temp directory i.e. C:\RAVETEMP\
Delete the directory Acrobat4 from C:\RAVETEMP\
Extract the content of the file FreeRave_1.36.rar to C:\RAVETEMP\ replacing the erased directory.
Start Rave normally from C:\RAVETEMP\Rave.exe or C:\RAVETEMP\TData.exe
You'll see 2 padlock icons (if the Tool Bar does not show up press F9):
a) Padlock Blue: Available if current file has protection, allows to remove it and save.
b) Padlock Yellow: Only available when browsing the initial file (Welcome.pdf or Rave-rc.pdf) This action will process the whole RAVE structure. The process takes about 10 minutes every 300 Megs on a Intel core 2 duo 2Ghz, it cannot be stopped, it is cpu intensive, Acrobat's screen might not be refreshed correctly while running. The file C:\RAVETEMP\ProcFiles.log keeps record of the process

When the process is done the PDF files can be viewed with a regular Acrobat Reader even on MAC. Exe files and the Acrobat4 directory are not needed any longer and can be erased. The PDF files are converted to PDF version 1.3 that means they can be opened from Acrobat 4.0 +.

I think you can still say you supply / stock / service / specialise in Land Rovers, you just can't have Land Rover in your company title, like "Bucks Land Rover" for example unless you're a genuine dealer. I certainly don't want the little guy to disappear, but it seems fair enough (can't call you're corner shop "High St Tesco")

When I used to travel into London by train every morning, I used to see a scabby looking shop, trading as T.E.S.Co.

They appeared to get away with it for years.

You could use an ordinary On/Off Carling Switch, wired to switch a changeover relay to earth, as is done in the 2002 -> Defender.

The relay is mounted on the rear door, behind the door-card.

.

February 8, 2012

just wondering if there is any reason I can't fit a pre 300tdi one to the door. Are all the mount holes etc in the wrong place - are they easily interchangable?

I suspect that the main differences in the earlier type are the electrical connections, rather than the mountings.

This is the (factory fitted) one on my 1989 110 -

February 8, 2012

I have a 200tdi 110 with a PDWA sensor on it. I have made a new loom for the car and I never saw anything but moulded bullets on the old loom but I need something to connect to the PDWA sensor (AAU1700).

Basically I need the connector for this: http://www.lrseries....URE-SWITCH.html

Does anyone know what this connector is? I called Craddocks and they said you can't buy it separately and it's part of the loom. Anyone know if this plug has a part number or where I can get one?

Cheers,

James

Those PDWA Switches were used on lots of British made cars, here's a connector I found at a Triumph specialist, I think it's the same type -

I'm using the Td5 type rear fog switch and relay on my 90. Does anyone know where I can source a connector plug for the relay from? Google tells me that the same relay is used on the Rover 600. I've crawled all over and under 3 of them in the scrapyard this morning but couldn't find it in any of them.

Alternatively could anyone look at their relay and tell me which colour wire goes to which pin?

The pins on the relay aren't numbered so the diagram isn't much help.

Black/Slate,- Switch.

Black,- Earth.

Red/Yellow,- Lamp and warning light.

Blue/Purple,- Supply.

Thanks for any replies.

The connector for the Rear Guard Fog Lamps ECU is a strange one.

It’s a Sumitomo connector (similar to, but not the same as, their HMDC Series), but it isn’t in any of their catalogues or on their website.

Although I haven't found a source for new connector shells, the terminals are (supposedly) available from Land Rover.

Land Rover list the Terminal as a Genuine Part – Part Number YPL10003, but this has been out of stock since early last year.

The Terminal/Tab size is 2.8mm so, at a push, you could use standard 2.8mm insulated female spade terminals.

If you fancy a trip to the Breakers Yard, in addition to the Fog Lamp ECU found on Rover 600s and late-model Rover Minis, the connector is also used as the Indicator Switch Connector on the following –

MG TF
Rover 25
MG ZR
Rover 45
MG ZS
Rover Mini
MGF (->2001)
MGF (2001->)
Rover 100
Rover 200
Rover 400
Discovery 1
Discovery II
Freelander 1

For those wondering where the ROW coolers are fitted, as already mentioned the TD5 ones are just a loop of pipe up alongside the engine on the drivers (RHD) side.

Wolfs have a large cooler right in front of the radiator, its supported between the A frame that supports the bonnet lock, so well above the gearbox height.

There used to be some piccies on here years ago of Wolf coolers.

T/cases get stupidly hot too, there was a recent thread on AULRO with some insane t/case temps recorded here in Oz, particuallry with an OD fitted.

The Wolf's R380 Oil Cooler uses the same style mount as early V8 Engine Oil Coolers.

Here's some parts pics -

Right got a photo

[image]

Mine doesn't have the White bit inside tho?

The 'White bit' is the terminal retainer or secondary terminal lock.

The one I pictured has loose terminals, crimped onto the wire and inserted into the connector body.

There is a very tiny latch to stop the terminals pulling back out, but to relieve any strain on the terminal's latches, a secondary terminal lock is used.

The connector body on your horn doesn't have loose terminals, they're part of the assembly/moulding, so no need for a terminal lock.

Your connector body looks like Coding 'B' - I have MQS connectors that wiil mate with that.

PM me if you're interested.

.

January 19, 2012

Cheers for the replies. It's not the same as the superseal one as the "locking" tab is different. It might be the mqs one though I can't see any pics in the above post that looks the same. I can't get a decent pic of it but it's oval shaped with two pins and a small casting on the top corner inside. If that makes sense, I'll try and get some more pics. Cheers mike

It's definately an MQS connector.

This is a cable mounted male MQS connector on a D4 heated washer jet, this will be the same as moulded into the horn's body.

Note the 'coding' keyways inside the connector's body -

.

This is the mating female half, with the corresponding 'coding' -

.

January 19, 2012

Hi people, I'm after the name of the connector that plugs into the horn on a td5. I bought a nas connector as it looked similar but it wasn't. Any one know what it's called. Cheers mike

It's a Tyco/AMP 2-way Sealed MQS connector, similar to the ones used for side repeaters, see this - http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=70955

There are variations in the 'coding' (keyways) on the female cable mounted connecters, but these aren't always implemented on the male half moulded into devices and sensors.

As I said in the thread above, I can supply these connectors, but they've gone up to £3.75 each, since I posted in that thread.

I have ones that are Coded 'A' and some others that are neutral coding.

If you can take a clear picture of the inside of the male connector, I will be able to tell if what I have will fit.

To be honest I think the military snow cover OTT for the UK, but maybe in the depths of winter... ?? you never know!

As well as preventing snow blocking the intake, it also stops rainwater, dirt, leaf bits, etc..., from going down the intake and blocking the drain, causing water and muck to get into the Heater Matrix, which results in less heat output and steam and condensation on the inside of the windscreen.

To be honest I think the military snow cover OTT for the UK, but maybe in the depths of winter... ?? you never know!

Something like this

would probably stop most of the issues with snow build up.

That type of vent cover drastically reduces the area that air can drawn through, making the fan work harder and reducing its performance.

It's also more vulnerable to being blocked by snow, which can build-up in front of it.

I've had a Military Snow Cowl fitted on my 110 for over 15 years and I've never had any problems with a blocked or flooded heater, or reduced fan output.

I bought mine direct from Courtaulds Aerospace for the CAV100 (now called NP Aerospace and the CAV100 now better known as "Snatch") back in the mid-90's -

Thanks Paul, funnily enough I brought a switch from you off ebay the other day, well on10th of November! At least I think it was you, the one with the modified latching part. Its a small world huh?

Cheers for the advice above I will look into contacting Martin. I have purchased all the bits and pieces now from VWP including the timer relay and heavy relay. So now its just a case of putting it all together.

Regards

Rob

That was me, a small world indeed. You appear to have upgraded from a 200Tdi to a 300Tdi

Is that switch going to be of any use to you?

I intended for it to be used to switch the 70A Relay directly, as not everyone likes to have functions taken over for them by Timers, BCUs, BeCMs, etc... - they like to have control :rolleyes:

If you wanted to use the Live-switching circuit element of the Switch I sold you, with the non-latching action of YUG000460LNF, so that it can be used with the Timer Relay, then it's an easy job to swap the two halves of the switches.

I've pinched these pictures from Del (50) on the D2 Boys Club forum, which show what I'm talking about -

. .

I'm sure he won't mind.

Martin also posts on here as Dyna VT, PM him, I'm sure he'd offer some guidance.

The Polevolt Timer Relay you've linked to, as well as being expensive, is over-complicated with Configurable Time and Delay ON or OFF, that you don't need for a HFS.

The VWP Timer Relay is also dearer than the equivalent from AES -

http://www.autoelect...836/category/36

140270: 12V Timer Relay - £10.89 each

They also have a diagram for it, which corresponds with Martin's diagram -

On Martin's diagram, the GW (Green/White trace) wire is from an ignition-switched source and supplies power to Pins 3 and 4 on the Timer Relay, as well as the 'switching pulse' power to Pin 1 of the Switch.

Power for your Heated Mirrors should also be taken from Terminal 87 of the 70A Relay.
