I have ADU8885, they are £1.95 each, supplied with 2 x AMP 'PosiLock' terminals to suit 0.5 - 1.0mm² cable (I can supply them with terminals for larger gauge cable if required). 1st class P&P is £1.65 for any quantity. FYI - Defender (300Tdi - TD5) AirCon Fan Switch Connector (C0848) is a yellow version of ADU8885 Defender (300Tdi - TD5) AirCon Clutch Switch Connector (C0847) is a green version of ADU8885 .

That Discovery 2 switch won't work for what you want it to do. The majority of Discovery 2 switches (including YUE100600 (pre-facelift) and YUE000220PUY (facelift)) switch a BCU signal wire to earth. The rear wash/wipe functions are then initiated by the BCU (Body Control Unit). As an aside, switch part numbers that have a PUY suffix, are Black. Switch part numbers that have no suffix, or a LNF suffix, are Ash Grey, which is the correct colour for pre-facelift Discovery 2 and Defenders from 2002 to 2016. It's easy to make the standard Defender rear washer switch (YUE000070LNF) also operate the rear wiper - however, the wiper (and washer) will only operate for as long as you hold the button down. Another option would be to add additional switch carriers. A member on the Defender2 forum (mcma1) has had some injection moulded, in 1-way, 2-way, and 3-way - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49880.html The ideal place to fit them, is below the stereo -

Rear wiper relay location (300tdi)
PaulMc replied to chadler's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
There's no relay in the rear wiper circuit. Your problem sounds like the rear wiper motor park switch is stuck on. -

Dumb question - central locking actuator connector
PaulMc replied to ElectricDogs's topic in International Forum
It clips into the back of the connector to hold the wire seals in place. -
I have the genuine Lucas-Rists terminals - but, they're expensive - £1.50 each + Postage. I’ve managed to source some terminals which are almost identical – but, they require a little ‘tweaking’ to make them fit the housings. These are a much more reasonable £0.25 each They are slightly wider in section, than the originals. They can be made to fit by rubbing them down a bit on some fine abrasive, and snipping the left side and bending out a retaining tang. The contacts can also be re-shaped with fine-nosed jeweller’s pliers, to make them more like the originals. Some pictures comparing an original terminal (crimped to green wire), with the similar terminal - .

I've just checked the wiring diagrams - Discovery-2 TD5 and V8 use 3.0mm2 1999MY Defender TD5 uses 3.0mm2 2002MY Defender TD5 uses 4.0mm2

I'm pretty sure that the factory wiring is 4.0mm2

They're available from numerous places, usually in 100's. I have them in a couple of sizes @ £0.10 each. However, you can make them from a 6.3mm terminal, by snipping off the receptacle and insulation crimp. I'm pretty sure that I posted it on here once before. When I find it, I'll post a link to it.

Defender spotlight alternative wiring
PaulMc replied to Fredthechippy's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
The first diagram is correct for YUG000540LNF YUG000540LNF switches the earth of the relay (terminal 85) from pin 1, to earth on pin 4 The switch's night-time illumination (pin 2) also earths through pin 4 The tell-tale is illuminated through pin 5, to earth on pin 4 Pin 5 is only live, when the auxiliary lamps are powered from terminal 87 of the relay. Your diagram wouldn't work, for a number of reasons. . -
It's an FCI (now Delphi/Aptiva) SICMA 1.5mm Mini-Sealed connector, which comes apart like this - The terminals are inserted on their side and are retained by the 'fingers' in the housing, locating into the recess on the terminal - .

I don't sell the connector housing, but looking on the web, I found this German site that's listing them for just over 4 Euros - https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/accessories/din-assembly-parts/plugs/plug-housing-blade-terminal-sleeve-for-fog-light/1052953/ So, I would expect a similar (equivalent) price from a UK Volvo dealer or specialist. I can supply terminals and wire seals, if you need them. .
