[Injetction pump help]

Right, the wires on the stop solenoid are:

White - red trace

Black - purple trace

Brown - I don't think there is a trace on this one.

I can't check which one is live as The engine has come from a donor 300 tdi and I have a V8 body.

I need to take a 12v supply to one of the above wires.

Has anyone done this before??

Thanks in advance

Ok, I've given up for the day.

I've tried putting 12v to each of the 3 wires whilst cranking the engine over and I've had no joy.

Grrr.

Can anyone tell me which one it is, or has anyone done this before??

Thanks in advance

Andi

Thanks Jim!

I will have a proper look after I finish wiring the rest of the engine.

I'm only about 4 wires away

[Do I need a boost gauge on 300tdi?]

It's always handy to know what boost the turbo is running at, so I would say yes

[Wiring up lights - cable sizes?]

We've used 7 core trailer cabling in the past for doing the rear of one off projects, it keeps things very simple, a fair few rally boys use it aswell, as they make a juction box at the back and split the cable from there,

[Injetction pump help]

So the potentiometer thing isn't needed to make the engine run, I take it this is the device that works with the egr?

Brilliant, thanks for clearing that up

[Injetction pump help]

Hello one and all, I have discovered I have a 3 wire version of the fuel pump on my 300tdi.

As below:

What I'd like to know is, I believe one of these is a negative wire and another a 12v feed from the ignition and the final one a live from the immobiliser.

Is this right?

If so, do I just need to take the earth to a good earthing point. and then take a wire to the 12v ignition wire? And then one to the immobiliser?

Thanks in advance everyone!

Regards

Andi

I've managed to get all this done in a very short space of time (a week of nights) and I've come to making the engine from the donor 300 tdi run.

I've asked before and people have told me I need to have constant power to the stop solenoid? and also a starting wire to the starter motore.

I'm faily sure i can sort the the starting wire, and I also have a constant 12v supply from the key for the stop solenoid.

Is this right? What do I need to do for the glow plugs and the sensors?

I'm sorry for keep asking but I'm now on a roll and really want to get the truck running!

Thanks in advance everyone.

Also is there an ecu on the 300?

Well heres hoping someone can give me an idiots guide to getting her going

Here's a as bought, 24hours later and how she id now:

[Landrover dealer snobbery!]

My local lost my company car money aswell. I walked, a 26 year old in, admitedly shabby clothes, asked to speak to the fleet salesman regarding purchasing a new double cab, but I would be wanting the full options list, he looked me up and down and said "are you sure you can afford one!", I said rather loudly I had a cheque book in my back pocket and he was not going to be seeing it. With that i knocked on the managers door, gave him a brief over view of what just happened, and also told him about the 7 vehicles that my family own and the fact I was looking at replacing my 3 transit vans with two 90's and a 110.

It's nice being young and having a lot of spending power

Thanks everyone, sorry I have said so earlier, the elasticrickery is a dark art to me which I'm slowly getting to grips with

[Getting my 300 tdi to run]

You sir are a gentleman.

I'll be playing tonight

[Getting my 300 tdi to run]

Hello David.

I have 12v live in the normal position constantly, even when the key is then turned the starting/ cranking position, this position gives a 12v feed to another wire that is only live when the key is in this position.

[Getting my 300 tdi to run]

Les, I have 12v when the key is on the ignition live postition, normal running postion. And I have 12v when I turn the key to start.

I just need to know where i connect these to

[Getting my 300 tdi to run]

Hello one and all.

I know I've been asking a lot of questions the last week or two but I really need help with this one.

I have a 300 tdi engine mounted where my V8 used to be.

I have managed to sort the ignition wiring and I now have a constant 12v supply wire (when key in normal running postion) and one that is a 12v supply when the ignition is used (spring loaded key position for starting)

My questions are, where do I connect these!

I'm sorry for all these seemingly stupid questions but I'm so closed to finishing my dream landy, I just want to hear it run!.

Thanks in advance

Andi

PS I'm alwyas greatfull for any help.

[Help identifying fuses]

Hello one and all

Can anyone tell me what the two bottom fuses are on both sides of the main fuse box.

I have a V8 CSW, 1989.

I really can't find my cover, it's in the garage somewhere but I just can't find it

[300tidi to an LT77]

Yup, remove your old engine to g'box housing and swap with the one on the 300

[2nd row seat belts]

That's fantastic mate, it explains alot!

The only thing I need now is how it connects behind the trim

I'll see if anyone else can help with this one!!!

Thanks Mad

[2nd row seat belts]

Hello one and all, can anyone help with a picture or two of where the seatbelt reel should sit, I have a CSW which was robbed of all the seatbelts before I got it. I'm coming to the end of a rebuild but the belts are causing some confusion as I'm struggling to find where the 2nd row of belts attach and anchor.

Please help!!!!!!

Thanks in advance

Andi

[Defender front diff]

You should try to push for a rebuilt axle and diff, or at least get the pay out and stick a new secondhand one in there

[Speedo cable probs]

Ah, I have a square pin protruding out where the cable should plug in, I take then this is part of the transducer and can be removed, I've tried to get it out but t seemed to be wel stuck in, I'll resort to a little bit of hea then and try to get it out again.

Thanks for all the replies

[Speedo cable probs]

I think he is fitting a disco box with a transducer to his early v8 110 so has all the bits, just the transducer is in the way.

The transducer in my disco transfer was held on by an allen bolt.

Well put Paul. that's what I meant

[Speedo cable probs]

it can be done as above, i am going the other way and will have a mechanical speedo available soon with the drive.

I have a mechanical speedo and a new speedo cable right here, however my gearbox is electrical drive.

So do I just pull the electrical transducer off and replace it with the cable drive?

Can I ask for an idiots guide to doing this As I'm having a bit of a simple moment

[Speedo cable probs]

Hello one and all, can some one help with this at all?

Is it possible to swap from electrical speedo to mechanical cable?

If so how

Thanks in advance

Andi

[Making my 300tdi live!!! Help :)]

Hello again, sorry but the fuel pump is cabled not drive by wire like suggested.

[Making my 300tdi live!!! Help :)]

the 300TDi ecu only does the electronic diesel control, if you ditch it, it'll be the same as any Defender 300TDi [non -ecu] engine, only Discovery/RR had the ecu.can't see the ecu being any benefit.

Cool thatnks for that chap
