Hi all,
last week I pulled a lorry cab out of mud..... ever since when ever I try to accelerate, above 1/2 throttle'ish I lose drive, the engine revs like crazy and I have to wait for something to catch up with engine. is very confussing.
-
Great, thanks a lot, went to the dealer today, they ordered me a barrel for the door!!!! think they missed when I said "ignition", they tryed charging me £130 for a new Steering Column Lock Assembly, think i'll go for the £30 one. cheers all
-
ahh, thanks. so they lied to me, going to dealership in morning, took the the whole ignition assembly off, will take with me, and see what can be done!!! (getting fed up with riding to work)

any one know of a individual digram just for the bulk head loom??
-
very useful, i love this site
-
thanks old hand for loom, so far so good attempting to label it up before i start, quite diffecilt as there are a lot of cables in my truck not attached to any thing!!!! but looks quite straight forward, if i can work out where these last couple of cables go, think theres going to be a lot of swearing this weekend
-
As has been suggested the Autosparks ones are muchos ££££ - but the chassis one (which is liable to be quite umolested anyway) could conceivably be replaced by some 13/12 core trailer cable in a bit of conduit, with a decent multiway connector at the front end (depending on whether you have rear wash/wipe and HRW) – just be careful not to get your wiring colours in a mucking fuddle…
The lighting/engine looms could probably all be reproduced and upgraded with about £20 worth of bits from VWP and some time (see tech archive for the lighting upgrade)
It’s the bulkhead loom that forms the backbone of the system – I have managed to get mine to a state whereby I’m happy to reuse it, having repaired all the evidence of amateur bodging. Some brave souls on here, such as PieEater, have even rebuilt their own from scratch (adding additional functions). Much time but probably 1/3rd of the cost…
At the end of the day, you’ll need to factor in how much your time is worth to you, and how long you can live with your truck being off the road for.
nice one, think my novice mind got that,
no rear wiper or HRW so not to much to worry about back there just lights and trailer socket,
I plan to do it over one weekend,
i still cant work out how everything works with the fuses taken out ?!!!!!!?!?!?!
-
thanks for reply's all really helpfull, looked on autosparks but cant find looms that match my no. AA264389, thanks for offers on looms,sounds good just the Chassis and dash loom to find now
-
hi, i recently brought a 1986 D reg defender off a window cleaner, he had put in extra wiring to power water pumps and other things,
i was having problems so i pulled out all the extra wiring, every where i look there is spliced cables and cables not connected to any thing,
I need to rewire as something is draining my over the night. this an example of my problems i pulled out all the fuses behind the gear stick and every thing still works!!!!!!!!!!! except for the horn, need to know where to begin and/or where to buy a complete wiring loom .
-
Thanks all do like the MUD ones but to pricey for me, just going to make some out of ply and stuff some roof insulation down the back for extra padding
-
My landy has just passed its MOT, but when i got it it home for some reason, when u hit full beam the main lights turn off!!!
not the fuse as i can hear them clicking when i hit the switch dash light works. any ideas????
there was a small amount of smoke coming from the fuse box when i tapped a lose cable back in.
-
i'm looking for interior side panels for my 1986 defender 90, i just want to cover the metal and install some speakers.
any ideas where i can find them, only found one site selling them and there well over priced. if all else fails i'll have to make some!!!

Hi all I'm thinking of selling my 90 hardtop.
It's had a disco engine conversation, brand new clutch fitted, new wheels and tyres. Has an awesome plate DI90
Mechanically sound. But.... The appearance is less than nice. Doors don't lock, paint on front wing is heaverly chiped. What sort of money do you peeps think I'll get for her?
Where can I add pics on the site?
