This has happened to me before on a 2007 defender, not sure if the part is similar to 97 year but it was down to the indicator/main/dip stalk. On the TD5 and 2007> defender the stalk comes comes with a multi-task switch that failed. What you decribed is exactly what happened to me. Main bean and flash but no dip

Thanks Western, is this a strip down job then to sort it out?

The old girl (1959) has been parked up all winter and since starting her up again the clutch is not working. The pedal felt soft so I have bled the system today using some DOT4 brake fluid as it has a shared brake/clutch reservoir. To no avail this has not worked maybe because it is because I have used DO4 brake fluid instead of DOT3 clutch fluid? Does anybody know whether I should just use different fluid or whether it's the master clutch cylinder? Cheers Rich

Dave. Great article in LRM, I am looking forward to reading how it drives in the March Issue!

I thought as much? What about the footballer on the M6 (that drove a Range Rover) that inadvertently drove into a car killing a family of 5. Shall we start that debate aswell?

Leave the poor "Gresh" family alone and get back on track! there is alot of emotion here that has f*ck all to do with Land Rover's!

Channel 240 Discovery Anytime - Wheeler dealers, there is two episodes where they are doing up a Series III 1981 and converting it to LPG. Cheers Rich SKY+ it

I read something in LRO about this and did a quick scan to find this: http://www.domain-b.com/companies/companie...r_business.html

Problem solved, it is the main beam dip switch/lever part #XPB101290 So another fix to add to the archive, if you have no main or dipped lights but the flash works it may well be this part that needs replacing. Cheers and thanks for the help...........

Thanks for that I'll check it out in the morning and let you know what happens

Just to update, only the flash works, so when I pull back on the switch the spot and main beam comes on. when I leave the stick in the middle or push forward for main beam I only get side lights. I agree it sounds like a relay, but which one? would this be one of the factory fitted relays or the one the mechanic fitted when I had the spots installed? Thanks in advance Rich

Yes full beam works ok

Driving home from work this evening mainly on dip I pulled into my drive and the dipped lights went out leaving just the sidelights on. I have spot lights wired in the standard way using a relay and this orientation has all been working fine for the last 12 months. I have checked all the fuses and none are blown, any ideas on what I should check next? Thanks Rich

24000 miles probably one of the highest mileage ones! 1. No mechanical problems 2. No bodywork problems 3. 34mpg 4. 70 mile commute every day Definate progress as far as I'm concerned 1. Grease UJ's every 3k 2. Change engine oil every 6k 3. Change all transmission lubricants every 12k
