Hello all! I have just finished a 10 month restoration project (me and my dad) of 1989 Cypress green RRC 3,5 Efi, but still have some minor electrics issues needing to be sorted out. In the drivers door there was a remote control unit added into the central door locking system, and after dismantling it I don't seem to find a proper connection to it. The problem is that the car's own wiring has only 4 wires and the solenoid has 5. Evidently one is left unconnected, but which one? The other trick is, that the electrical drawings state that you just connect color to the color, but it changes all the colors in the connectors. And all the wires were cut of course, so not just connecting the plugs... Help would be very appreciated! Feels kind of stupid when you can't lock your brand new car... ;-)

Thank You again, Mr. Western! I just don't get that Microcat working in my computer... :-( Btw, if those seals are still available, the price is outrageous, over 100£ a piece!

Hello! RRC MY1989, FA384252 I'm enquirying part numbers for both side rear window seals. The window between C- & rear corner pillars. Thank You!

Valves sticking?

In the Land Rover Monthly magazine September 2009 issue there was an illustrated story of fitting one into 300Tdi... If you cant´t get it in your hands and your doing it by yourself, I suppose I could scan that article and send it to your by PM if you wish?

My radiator decided to give up on late Friday night and I had to leave for a journey with my 110Td5 early Saturday morning. All I could get at that time was Allmakes cheapest aluminium/plastic rad. I thought that what the heck, I´ll put it on and buy a decent one when it begins to show marks of giving up. Well, it´s over two years and 35 000km´s ago, and still like new! And they throw a lot of salt on the roads at wintertime in here! So I´m very surprised and satisfied for that cheap deal...

I have a set of those also in my spots, very good otherwise, but when first time switching on takes a long time to become bright, and again if you switch them of for few minutes, they are slow again. That´s because they don´t have any currency preload like the factory ones. Well, cheap and bright and easy to install...

No, mister Cider Drinker, You got that right! But I had exactly the similar problem with my 110 TD5 CSW and it was after programming the new ECU for the car. Got that sorted out with Nanocom. Now that´s why I´m so strongly recommending checking that programming out first before any electrickery jobby . But now it´s time for some friday BEER, so Cheers!

IMHO 300Tdi and TD5 are totally different systems? TD5 is controlled by Alarm ECU and is programmable via cars ECU. Try programming that interior light to the alarm system first before doing anything else. That´s just what is does if the interior light is not programmed to work with the alarm. If I recall it´s called SMART option in interior light programming menu.

Hi! You´ll have to program them to work by using T4 or Nanocom. Don´t mess around with wiring!

I have RRC seats front and rear, I´m a dry summer´s squirrel... they are heated and comfy and nice! I think they are the best addition for the car. Fronts are easy to install and they slide enough rearwards that you will get to the battery if needed.

Mine neither, it´s totally something else! (Obviously haven´t been around with Land Rovers long enough...)

I would also call that a bit exaggeration overdone!
