    TD5 90 - FUSE BOX-SATELLITE (P109)

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    If you need anything else bung me your email address and I'll send some more screen grabs of the main wiring diagram through, it's easier than posting them on here!

    Edited again to add that the radio permanent feed, clock and interior light all go through that fuse 30 according to the various wiring diagrams so that is probably the culprit - maybe you shorted something out when you took the cab off and blew the fuse?

    I thought it might be there, but there were no 5A fuses - why LR just doesn't refer to it also as a passenger fuse box I don't know, seeing as that's what the other are referred to! :rolleyes:

    I'll pull 30 and check and if not it I'll check all others - cheers for the info guys.

    I must have blown it somehow - but it is a connector and was just disconnected - nevermind I know how it all works now! :):)

    Moving from the P38 back to a Defender, even a TD5 one the electricsare a doddle compared! ;););)

    How do I get a copy of Rave and what PC O/S will it run on?

    Cheers

    TD5 90 - FUSE BOX-SATELLITE (P109)

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    When I removed the truckcab and took the interior light out I seem to have somehow lost my 12V constant feed.

    The trip meter is zeroing each time, no clock, no interior light and there is no constant 12v feed on stereo connector - so I'm sure it's gone. Now I'm assuming it's the 5v fuse that's gone rather than 4 wires simultaneously going! ;);) but it could also be something to do with alarm.

    BUT - I can't find where the satellite fuse box is. I've checked out the passenger fuse box,and the under seat fuse box - but where is the satellite one?? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I must get a workshop manual!! :)

    Any help appreciated

    Cheers

    best place to buy ?

    Don't ever deal with Scrap iron racing i have only ever had trouble with them.

    Never had a problem with Scorpion - like to elaborate? what was the issue??

    Cheapest place for turrets is paddocks, but I have no idea what they are like - otherwise they are all similar

    Re-location devices do seem to work better on the rear for re-seating if they are on axle not chassis, however if you go for Devon 4x4's design it doesn't seem to matter that they are on the chassis. Theyare cheaper too!

    As for OME springs and shocks just phone around for cheapest.

    You'll also need adjusted bump stops and kinked rear trailing arms, and yes I think you'll need longer brake hoses

    Hi DD

    I've got a set of rear yellows you can try that were off the Hybrid. I fitted the NRC4304's on the rear and they were softer.

    I can bring them along to Paul's day on the 15th and then one of the crew coming from the west can hopefully bring them back for you.

    Cheers

    RTI RAMP - Capel show ?

    Thanks for the reply.....

    Problem is I won't go to any of the big shows (LRW LRO etc) anymore......except Old Sodbury.....now, theres a thought :lol: and I sort of know him too :rolleyes:

    So has to be another option....

    Nige

    Hi Nige

    If you haven't been to Gaydon before you should go to the Heritage day. Less of a show, more like an enthusiast gathering. Well worth the entry fee alone to look around all the British cars and motorcycles in the Heritage centre.

    Cheers

    I got mine from Sodbury £10 genuine British date stamped 1964!

    ideal for digging I've found, better than the others I;ve tried previously.

    Anchor supplies will no doubt have some

    I got mine for a fiver at a Dunsfold day! ;);) They are the best for digging though.

    Cheers

    Luvvers - give me a call and we'll work something out.

    Mark - I'll see what I can do! :lol:

    Steve - if you are serious I will gladly get them for you. We'll then have to work out a relay system to get them from Weston-sooper-mud to Cambridge!

    Let me know.....

    Thanks for the offer Charles. I'll phone them tomorrow and letyou know if I need thempicked up.

    Cheers

    jate rings

    in International Forum

    Posted

    The rounded ones, less wear on your strop and very good value at £15/pair.

    Scrapiron would be double that!

    John

    Ah but you get a nice Allen headed bolt for that price!! ;);)

    I think Stephen summed it up well regarding Jate rings..

    I have come to the view that JATE rings are an inexpensive and easy way to fit a reasonable recovery point where none exists, but no match for a properly made one.

    I'll be fitting these to the front of the 90 until I get something better sorted later on,probably in conjunction with a winch bumper.

    Lower shock mounts

    in International Forum

    Posted

    Yes Will and Nigel, but you are missing the point of the intial post - the fact is this set-up is perfectly OK for the majority of people and as such is sound advice for the majority of people.

    On most LR's with a 2" lift and 2" extended shocks it's the downward shock travel that is limiting axle articulation not the bump stop on the upward movement.

    Also you'll have to explain to me how one half of an axle moving higher, while the other half moves lower (both roughly equal in weight) affects COG??

    Dropping my winch in for a quick wash and brush up on Saturday.

    I thought as it is a bit of a trek that I'd let all of you West Country lot know in case you want something picking up or dropping off.

    That is except Western and Boatboy (where is he?) of course who are the other side of the back of beyond! :P

    So if I can help, drop me a line and we'll work something out. :)

    Can you pick me up a couple of diff guards from QT,whileyou are in the neighbourhood

    Cheers ;)

    Lower shock mounts

    in International Forum

    Look at Hybrid_From_Hell's posts on his suspension.

    What you really want is higher shock mounts, and longer shocks.

    Not if you don't want start cutting all of your arches and inner arches you don't.

    Ben your theory is correct in principle. 4" shocks will give roughly the same articulation as dropping the shock mounts all round by 2". New turrets and lower rear mounts willcost you between 110-160 depending on where you get them from.

    Either you'll have to pay attentionto your shock compression and adjust bump stops accordingly.

    Cheers

    I should be able to make it - I'm not sure about my clique though!

    I never realised I had a clique - does that make me cool B) or just sad :(

    Just a joke, nothing behind it :) although after your reply I did a search to try and find something humurous on 'clique' and found this http://womenclique.com/

    and I thought the top item of 101Tips: The Insider's Secret on How to Become a Man Magnet!

    was funny! :P

    Cheers

    Personally I'm surprised that the reserve was so high. I would have thought that a bid of ~14K would be good. You can't expect to recoup all of the costs put in. I reckon this 90 has about 8-9K of extras added, so that leaves 5-6K for base hybrid and labour.

    That's not bad going in my opinion.

    Tim you got a bargain. Add a cage, rear 8274 and new cross member/winch mount (about 2K +fitting) and you have a set up as good, actually better with 3-Link! :P

    Cheers
