  1. There is an earth point on the bulkhead in the engine bay that will probably be the cause, but check all earthing point obviously. Suspect it will be the earth on the bulk head. It is somewhere round the back of the header tank
  2. Yeah I found that during the weekend converted to +ve switching. Pin out is then very simple to work out. But good to confirm in the write up I found searching Thank you everyone for the comments support and search. I knew PaulMc had to have written on this at some point
  3. Thanks mate. From memory this has just an orange relay. I think I need to have a long look at this and work it out
  4. They work for me ok. Balance with the beadlock I found to be an issue though
  5. Look at the terrafirma beadlock rims. You don’t need the headlocks so don’t buy them but the offset is correct and fitting 35” tyre yourself will take about 15 mins per rim.
  6. Search for econoseal crimp tool. That’s how I found mine. Amazon will have them for next day delivery
  7. Hi. It’s been a while. Ok so fitted the facelift dash this weekend. Changed the fog light and hazard switches ok. Heated windscreen was on a Carling on off switch. Can the genuine front screen switch be made to work with the Carling switch wiring, or would it be easier to replace with the latching rear heated window switch? Thank in advance Paul
  8. There is a earth block on the right hand upper bulkhead in the engine bay. Just double check it has a good contact. That will definitely stop it starting
  9. Saw this 2 weeks ago on my way into brum.There were 3 jags, one broken down, and this ‘defender’ all stopped at a roundabout, all in disguise. I thought it was a new discovery variant. Not seen it since on my seemingly endless journeys into Birmingham.
  10. I fitted that winch and shaft combination to a TD5. It only required slight work on the drive shafts and brackets to get it to route and work correctly.
  11. Si, I had something similar after my wiring loom epic. The sounder kept chirping. At first I just thought I'd disconnect it and ignore it. I tried changing to horn only and it continued. Eventually I removed it and disconnected it, then dosed it with contact cleaner on both parts and then brake cleaner, then WD40. It has now stopped chirping and the alarm is set to horn and sounder again. Hope this is something similar. Paul
  12. Ok. It sounds like in your frustration you dropped the power to the AS10 alarm unit while the vehicle was immobilised. This causes the ecu to become immobilised, and can be a pain to sort out. You will need Nanocom or test book to sort this. The alarm sounder only going off from memory is a selectable function within the alarm setup accessed once again from Nanocom et al. Might help if you gave your location. Cheers Paul
  13. Nick, cheers for that. header 0550 is the one. bolted it to the bulkhead and guages sorted and started to crank. Unfortunately the ECU had gone immobilized and would not learn securityno matter what I tried, swapped it out for a spare and hey presto, engine started. Checking things over I now have no headlights, which turned out to be a mega fuse blown. so now all sorted. I'll be happy now cos I can finish modifying the PTO winch I bought when I took time off work to do the loom.
  14. Unsure will look. Wierdly I have 10v on both earths to the diagnostic socket when ignition is at acc. If i briefly drop that to ground everything starts correct itself. I think I need to understand the 10v urgently. Just realised that that awkward white earth block has been neglected to be bolted back onto the bulkhead tho while I was getting P****d off, but did not remove the earth to the xfer box
  15. To cut a long story short I aborted swapping the bulkhead loom after finding that some of the engine bay plugs did not mate up. So back in with the old loom. However, I now have a defender whcih has symptoms of a failed starter solenoid pack, a diagnostics socket which looses power when the ignition is on, a fuel guage which does not read, and a temp guage which read red hot. I have the original msb ecu so not wtrong map, and have also tried an nnn with a defender 110 map (the map ending in 5). I'm assuming I must have disturbed something in the ecu plug, and or have a dodgey earth somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas at all?. Spent 4 days trying to sort this so far so feeling a little reagged now. Cheers Paul
