  1. All sorted, went for the straight swap of the switch......will put the relay on list(long) of "things to do". Once again thanks to all for advice. Malc
  2. Do you know if this is documented anywhere? probably need the idiots guide :-) Malc
  3. Looks like I'll be picking a new switch stalk up tomorrow from Keith Gott, just down the road. On second thoughts if these things melt regularly would I be better off putting in a simple toggle/rocker switch ? Has anyone out there done this as an alternative? Any recommendations? Thanks for the advice everyone. Malc
  4. The caravan was attached electrically when all failed, when I pulled over I disconnect caravan and tried lights on vehicle but no joy, still did not work. We did have a problem with caravan indicators initially one of them did not work so I was driving before the problem with only one working. When trying to fix lights after failure, I took off cover and managed to get the indicator working on the caravan so I could use hazards....drove home on hazards and holding main beam on manually....blinding all in front of me :-( It's a 2001 100 TD5 Malc
  5. Help, Defender 110 TD5, 2001 I was doing a good deed and helping a mate get his newly acquired caravan home. Did all the checks before setting off with van in tow, indicators, side lights, brake lights....all OK. We set off, all ok and but as it started to get a little darker on the motorway i switched on headlights.....they worked for a while and then I noticed the dash light were out....oh and so were the side lights and headlights. Main beam only worked on flash mode and would not stay on when switch via the stick. Exited the motorway ASAP.....check fuses all seem ok, checked relay by switching the radio relay for lights relay, no joy. Anyone out there got any ideas? Malc
  6. Hi, need some advice. I need to get hold of a new section of wheel arch, NOT the bit attached door bit or the mudguard bit but just the middle section mounted on the rear panel - Grey plastic. My wife thought she could get around a fencepost but did'nt quite manage it Any idea where I can a get the part number for the item and where I might source it? I also need the pop-on studs for mounting. All suggestions welcome. Thanks Malc
  7. Thanks for a Great Day ,very well organised. Thanks Again Malc
  8. Hi and Welcome.... I've recently been looking myself, these guys seem to offer a comprehensive range and a#can even hand match custom colours which is what I need as my 90 was resprayed but I have no idea of what colour code. hope this helps http://www.autopaintsbrighton.co.uk/car-paints-custom-mixed--touch-up-kits-18-c.asp
  9. All, on the off chance I wondered if anyone had ever come across this 110. It's up for private sale , a chap up in lancaster, he's had it 6 month and looks very tidy having been resprayed Oslo Blue back a few years back. It's got 144k miles on a TD5 , any thoughts on how much it would be worth? Cheers Malc
  10. A failed attempt to nick my 90 last night in fleet, hants.....starter motor is knackered and I was waiting for the new one to arrive..... but they did'nt know that did they..... so they proceeded to smashed the steering lock/ignition to bits....B@sT@rds!!! Team of 4 caught on camera but not identifiable. Anyone know where to get an ingnition/steering lock assembly and how easy to fit? It was sitting on the forecourt of my local garage at the time, would the garage be liable as it was under their care? Pi$$ed off in Fleet. Cheers
  11. Mel, My 90 has the same symptoms and I'd like to see if the sharp tap works before embarking on taking exhaust off etc etc. Can you tell me where abouts you tap to get the solenoid "freed" is it the silverbit at the end of the starter motor? Cheers Malc
  12. Been getting withdrawal symptoms since seven sisters so really looking forward to a play in the mud :-) See you all on sunday.
  13. All Sorted............ managed to do if from the top, only had to lift off the rubber cover used a curved darning needle and thread to pull the pin though the hole and a pair of long pliers to pop the split pin in place...... jobs a gooden
  14. Hi, I was at Seven Sisters a week or so ago with Shires .....a great time was had by all. I discovered that the selector for Diff lock was not engaging....with the help of a screw driver we managed to get engaged to have some fun but I now need to fix. It looks like the pin/clip at the top of the selector rod is missing......question is .....is there an easy way to get access? or do I have to take lots apart? It's a defender 90 , 1990. Any tips welcome. Malc
  15. Al, yeah was an MOT test one and it did show effectiveness....N/S did look a little less....I'll take a look at the caliper once I can get some time away from the kids!! Thanks
