  1. I have two different lights from mud stuff and they are great - lil expensive but well worth it
  2. i have a charger in 2003 td5 same dash and best thing i reckon was take out cigarette lighter and got a double one for there, also does volts for batt perfect fit have to effectively screw into hole its as snug and a locking ring on back. charges iphone xr no worries with a super demanding app running - actually works better than portable battery pack to keep up and its same cable
  3. yeah me too. next is new battery i think as screen is bit temperamental to low volts, had battery tested but wasnt 100% conclusive 80% charge and 75% capacity i do an incredible amount of short runs in a day around estate at work and commute is less than 2 miles 4 times a day has seemed a lil tired cranking by mid week and gets a decent run most saturdays to refresh. battery i guess is 8 yrs old so no shame. have done chassis earths renewed and cleaned etc to make sure had best chance and alternator is kicking out a healthy 14 plus when running
  4. UPDATE so i read the info from western, had more coffee and read it again.... armed with a wire colour and some dangerous thoughts like of course oil pressure switch supplies the oil pressure warning light on dash (i hope) headed out to car and by some miracle the correct wire in bundle supplying dash lights has a stripped section with remains of some solder so its re connected now and you hear the idle drop a fraction as screen kicks in so its drawing load Really appreciate the help for this thanks
  5. scrolling through and found this - where would i find such a feed on 2003 td5 90 behind dash? this could solve my issue i think, electrical idiot so clear wire colour advice is awesome please
  6. i did have a look at that thanks western, need brain to wake up more and i am really poor with electrics. video shows me taking a meter reading off the broken wire coming from pin 6 with screen on, starts around 11.50 in the 20v setting and appears to count down to 0 but when i probe screen tab its nice steady 12.99 with car running and sidelights on its like pin 6 is counting down and when reaches 0 screen switches off what function would the pin 6 to oil pressure switch have, earthed there?
  7. And discovered why I can’t load video, phone took hi res so too large
  8. So I have a bit of a puzzle on my hands with my heated front screen on 2003 td5 defender was running new aerial cable through dash area and somehow managed to hook a wire and break it, have traced back to pin 6 on the genuine parts timer relay used when fitted years ago. wire was taped to bundle of earths and other wires from behind stereo area once battery is charged a bit screen works with this disconnected which is odd when I have engine running and screen off wire reads 0.0 on meter engine running and press button for heated front screen meter shows around 11.50 but it counts down to below 5 and screen switches off seems to count quick have a video but not sure how to upload it
  9. Thanks Fridge - that would explain why i can press switch and it illuminates and then turns off but after a sit and idle time with no load on its happy.
  10. awesome thanks folks Now for the next fun question - heated front screen in 2003 td5 90 csw, seems to be having voltage issues in terms of i do a fair old bit of short runs daily which i know is bad for battery, then weekly a decent run. using a landrover sets of relay etc would it be logical that when main battery is low just after a start it cuts off quick? let it run ten mins and its fine.
  11. Looking for somebody who maybe has a 2003 ish td5 90 dash in bits to get a hole measured or maybe knows it - being cheeky/lazy and not opening mine up if i can avoid it the hole for cigarette lighter socket once existing unit is out - does anyone know diameter of it please? looking to fit a twin usb socket with volt gauge in it and need hole size first
  12. yeah gave him a shout to say glad he was able to help. been using him for lots of years now. glad he got you sorted!
  13. ahh you got a loan of yasmine ian aka tich is a good guy so be fine there
  14. has this been sorted? know 3 if not 4 good garages not far from aberdeen and i am not far away in banchory with all tools needed - sure a local garage will have one in stock or able to get one asap try caldwell and dempster banchory north east four by four near stonehaven mann automotive near laurencekirk - although north east four by four does get parts from there too greenbank four by four outside aberdeen
  15. very expensive lockdowns.... mud pod, roof light bar and two side facing lights into 90 various odds and sods to do that, boy wiring and connectors adds up! nice set milwaukee tools - 3/8 impact wrench, drill, cordless screwdriver, right angle impact wrench and new battery rattle gun
