  1. Hi all. Would any one know of a supplier for the Female black 10 way plug that connects to the immobiliser box (AMR4889) on 300tdi vehicles? This is C863 in the 1997 Defender Electrical Library . The male half that it plugs into looks like this. Many thanks, Hippo
  2. If I understand correctly, the PDWA switch is just a passive indicator of low pressure in either the front or rear brake circuits, and has no effect on the operation of the hydraulic brake system. In the event of a leak the PDWA simply illuminates a dashboard warning light. That being the case, with two independent front brake lines running back to the master cylinder, only one of them would be able to pass through the PDWA, meaning that a leak in the other front line would not cause the dashboard warning light to illuminate. This would kind of defeat the object of having a warning light. Or is this simply another case of my comprehension of the subject being way off? Yet more thanks, Hippo.
  3. Thanks for posting that, a picture is worth a thousand words and all that. So if I understand correctly, you think I should take the "No Valve" approach, as per the diagram on page 499, and items 2 & 3 on page 506. Thanks again, Hippo.
  4. Looking around online at the ANR1415 PRV, some have red tags, and some have green. Are they all the same? Hippo
  5. Craddocks have replied to my enquiry "Unfortunately we cannot source this part. I apologise for any inconvenience. " It is however still listed on their site and you can still "Add to Basket" LR Direct were much more on the ball when they discovered that they could no longer source the part and immediately updated the listing to reflect this. Hippo.
  6. Given the chassis range of the donor vehicle for the brake donor 96 TA99..... And the sellers comment about the valve on the bulkhead. Page 506 in Westerns link would seem to suggest that it is valve ANR1415 that I need, as per Neil's second link. Perhaps it is the later master cylinder 110's without this balance valve that suffer rapid rear brake pad wear? Thanks, Hippo.
  7. So nothing on the bulkhead but a G Valve on the chassis rail. That is certainly not the answer I was expecting, I did not know they used G Valves on 110's Thank you, Hippo
  8. Thanks Western. Alas as I have just discovered, listed may not mean available. LR Direct were showing it as a direct from Land Rover part with 2 day DHL delivery, but when I enquired they found that they could no longer get it from any of there suppliers, and have since updated their website to reflect this. I have sent enquiries off to Craddocks, and Advanced Factors but am not overly hopeful now. As for Cars245 £667 seems a tad steep for a ~£100 part and is not within my budget. For something that was started as a simple ebay transaction, this has become rather expensive, and quite stressful. The original purchase was described as "Defender 110 300 TDI CSW fusebox and full wiring loom. The loom and fusebox are all in good condition. Its been removed with care and the complete loom - front to back - is included. The only wires that have been cut are some of the earth wires where the bolts were too rusted to be removed. This is an ideal replacement item and its fully tested and in good working order. This loom includes the alarm and immobiliser and EGR componenets and everything is in full working order." When I spoke to the seller and explained that I was retrofitting more recent electrics into an older vehicle, he assured me that all the required parts for the alarm and immobiliser functionality were included, the engine loom however was not part of the sale. The seller was unaware that the immobiliser wiring all runs through the 13 way main loom to engine loom econseal connector. The seller explained that the chassis section of the loom (included in the sale) was still in the chassis, and I would need to allow a week for him to take the body off as it would then be easier for the loom to be removed. After 10 days had passed, the seller contacted me and informed me that he was having problems getting the chassis loom out and "unless he could remove it without taking the body off" he would have to cancel the sale. It had taken me a few weeks to source this complete electrical system prior to purchasing from the seller, and with the 10 days that had elapsed since, I had quite a lot of time invested in this, and there was no guarantee that another system would turn up any time soon. I got the chassis number for the donor vehicle from the seller and found that Autosparks could supply the chassis section (now holding up my refurb) for £110, the seller agreed to deduct £60 from the originally agreed price and we continued with the transaction. I ordered the Aurosparks loom and had it installed in my chassis before the rest of the electrics arrived, only then to discover that I required the engine harness (apparently this had been sold with the engine) The seller did offer a full refund If I returned the wiring /alarm / immobiliser parts, but as I had already purchased (and fitted) the Autosparks loom I now had both money and time invested in this. I really need to dig up an engine harness soon, this has cost around £300 so far and looks like it will cost another £100 or so assuming I can source the part I was originally enquiring about here. For a £250 transaction, this is starting to get out of hand. Sorry, I really needed to vent that. Thank you so much for all your input so far, Hippo.
  9. A quick question for those more knowledgeable than myself. I am adding disc brakes to the rear of my 1989 110 CSW, all the parts are from a disc braked Salisbury rear axle. I have also got the newer brake pedal box with the larger diameter servo and 3 outlet master cylinder. (Removed from a 1996 300tdi csw) My old set up had a twin outlet master cylinder with the back and front brake lines then passing through what I understand to be a PDWA switch This is my old master cylinder:. The new master cylinder looks like this one From what I have read it looks like the two front ports are for the front brakes (one for each wheel) and the rear port goes directly to the back axle; With no PDWA or bias valves fitted in the system Is this correct? When I asked the breaker who supplied the parts he seemed to think that there was a valve on the bulkhead and that all 110 Defenders were fitted with valves. Thanks in advance, Hippo.
  10. looks like "Rover's" new diff to me
  11. A quick update on this. Having tried to order the AMR6334 loom, it seems that neither LR Diredt, or Brit-Car are able to supply it. Hippo.
  12. Apologies for resurrecting such an old post. I was looking for information on the RTC6065 kit and I found a very good guide on fitting the 2nd row belts to a CSW on another forum. I thought I would post a link so that the information was available for the next person trying to find it here. http://www.defendersource.com/forum/f6/photo-request-110-middle-row-seatbelt-mounts-27052.html (posts #5, #6, & #7 pretty much cover everything) Hope this helps someone, Hippo.
  13. Thank you so much for the clarification. It seems to be readily available through LRDirect for sensible money. Thanks, now thrice, Hippo
  14. Thanks again, but that information is in my original post. So excuse my ignorance but would you take that to be a yes or no on the immobiliser wiring? Thanks again, again, Hippo.
  15. Thank you. I was hoping that would be the case, i just wanted some confirmation before dumping more money on this. Can anyone confirm if the AMR6334 loom carries the wiring for the immobiliser ECU? Better still, if anyone has a second hand engine harness from a 300tdi defender that had an alarm and immobiliser I could be very interested. Thanks again, Hippo.
  16. Just wanted to add another +1 for ArcRite as a supplier. I messaged them recently looking for a suitable top coat for my chassis, they replied very quickly, and I am very happy with the product that they supplied.
  17. Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. I am in the process of rebuilding a 1989 110 CSW onto a Marsland chassis, with a Defender200tdi engine The original wiring was pretty shot, so I decided to upgrade to something a little more recent and add some security while I was at it. I have purchased a 300tdi main loom off of a breaker advertising on ebay, complete with alarm and / immobiliser components. and have the correct new chassis loom from Autosparks. I am however still missing the engine harness (the seller did not realise that the engine harness was required for the immobiliser and I had purchased and fitted the Autosparks chassis loom before this became apparent) The main loom I have is from a P reg 300tdi 110 CSW (vin - TA99.....) part number AMR4983, and the original vehicle had alarm / immobiliser and EGR. I would like to retain the alarm and mobilisation functions, but obviously EGR will not be needed with a 200tdi. There seem to several variations of 300tdi engine harness available, with various options. I have done a lot of reading around online, but am unclear as to how interchangeable the different 300tdi loom sections are. Are the different 300tdi engine looms interchangeable? Or is the matching main harness required for each engine loom.? I guess it all comes down to how universal is that 13 way connector? The loom that catches my eye at the moment is AMR6334 (300tdi engine harness no EGR with alarm (V)VA107823- -(V)WA159806), this seems to be an affordable option. Will this plug and play with what I have, and would it have the mobiliser wiring? Thanks in advance, Hippo.
