Anybody got info on how to convert a 1985 def 2.5 n/a diesel to a turbo photos would be great

Your right just checked not senor cable on pad on my 1985 2.5 diesel defender, I do have same problem I disconected master cylinder cables but didn't make any difference. The light comes on and flashes intermidiate and after a drive for a few miles goes out again but sometime comes on again. checked brake fluid but level ok and don't have a handbrake switch on this model either maybe the cable is earthing some where. any suggestion. Cheers

Sorry what is PDWA I'm a novice, i think maybe your right I thought the pads had a senor cable on a set I was ordering from Paddocks

Thanks Steveb The green wire you said is for themostat is already connected to the top of engine as in pic. Is it possible it is to give both options and is an extra cable

hi can anybody help with stray cables in picture one is in same loom as alternator cables around injectors and others are beside master cylinder couple which seam to be cut cheers

Thanks for your help I have checked and it looks like i have two brown cables I think about 4/6sqm from terminal to solinoid and also two going towards bulkhead somewhere were battery cable comes in from under seat.if i get one 16sqm cable do i run this from the terminal to solinoid and solinoid to battery all in 16sqm cable instead of the two smallier cables thanks again

hi when you say upgrade wiring what do you mean . Do I change it to a heaviery gauge and from where to where just the two brown wires

Thanks for info It is a 2.5 N/A 1985 defender at the momment it is a spade conection two brown and one yellow/brown charging light I think. What I am going to do is cut and crimp the two brown wires to a ring conector for a pole connection and same for other wire. the loom looks very dodgey around the engine can this be tided up some how, I read i should change brown wires to heavier one. can someone help. p.s. it's just for more lights front and roof,but also just to upgrade thought this would be better than 45amp thanks again

I have an old 2.5 N/A diesel defender and have thought about fitting air con. can it be done and if so how hard would it be and what would be a rough cost guide

Hi My landys the same i thought the P light was my parking brake but was wrong the sensors on the front as my rear brakes have shoes and these have been renewed don't know what side though but you should see the bullet connection when you take the wheel off
