  1. Have just found these connection, one push in connection for the handbrake and both male and female connection for the reverse light just hanging loose. Thanks for the advice. The electronic control unit under the middle seat on my 300tdi, is this for the EGR valve? He's just cut through that and left it - i think this is redundant? Isn't it?
  2. When I take of the driver seat access pleate the yellow wire for the handbrake is lying disconnected - it seems to have a push in fitting - I can't see where it goes - any ideas? The wire is not that long. Also looking across to the passenger side from here I can see a disconnected plug - am presuming this is the reverse light and just have to find the switch end?
  3. Thanks to both of you will have a check tomorrow and let you know - hopefully the snow will have melted..
  4. Hello all, I've just had a lovely glavanised chassis put on. However I am disappointed to find that my reverse lamp (no 12V to socket) and both dash indicators lamps are not working for the hand brake(lamps ok). Is there a common socket that has been left disconnected on top of the gearbos for these. Grateful for any advice, a bit dissappointed with the people that done the job, should have all been checked. Thanks
  5. What about a K&N Filter? Are these just a waste of time and a bit of a gimick? Will they damage the engine eventually, which seems to be what I read.
  6. Hi every one, Firstly, sorry if you have covered this before, I use my Defender for my daily drive, around 70 miles and wouldn't mind getting more mpg, so: 1. Is getting an EGR removal kit and de-cat pipe worth it (I'm aware it does not affect an MOT - or does it)? 2. Should it be surrendered to your insurance company? Thanks beforehand.
  7. Ralph, Have given up for the day, its year is 1998, 300tdi csw on an R plate, i'm sure its not anything to do with the headlamp problem I now have, must be unused. The fuse that is blowing is a 7.5 amp supply fuse. I notice the headlamp glows dimly after the fuse blows - is this an indication of an earth? If you have a cct diagram that would be great. Thinking it must be a relay. All I have is the diagram behind the fuse box. Thanks again for your help.
  8. The orange/black and black wire with socket remain disconnected - the side lights, indicators and wing indicators all work, I'm sorry but the wire is orange/black and black.
  9. Drove into work this morning and have discovered that the fuse for the headlamp has blown on this side again, full beam still works. From my original post, I've just changed the bulb and fuse, thats when I found this socket. I'm not sure that the socket is related?? The socket on the headlamp looks fine and is not the same.....as I said the spare socket is the same for the sidelamps and indicators.....
  10. No, nothing on the other side, it must be for something like that, would just be nice to know what it was.
  11. Well, don't have a meter at home, but all my sides work - triple checked and all connected. The neighbours must think I'm potty!!!
  12. Here it is, as I say all my indicators work, it does not look like a rabbit run, I just wonder if I've pulled if of some where...it is orange and black....
  13. Hello again! I have just replaced a headlamp bulb on the passenger side of my defender. However, when doing it I noticed an extra socket complete with wiring that appears disconnected - the socket is of the same smaller type as the side lights and indicators, the wiring is orange and black. All my side lights/indicators working, does anyone know what its for? Thanks again for any help....
  14. Hello again, I've found a couple of holes in my chasis that I would like to get patched up, can any one recommend any decent chasis welders in the Glasgow area? Thanks again....
