Td5 Temp Gauge and Sender - A Discovery
ThreePointFive replied to ThreePointFive's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
I changed the complete set to TD5 ones, speedo is correct and the fuel gauge is reasonably accurate so I haven't needed to modify that. You may have just pointed out my problem then - I didn't realise the temp gauge went through the speedo, I thought it was a straight positive feed. So in short, I need to put in a new 12v feed from the fuse box and see if that solves it. Fridge, hold off on the resistors... -
Td5 Temp Gauge and Sender - A Discovery
ThreePointFive replied to ThreePointFive's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Legend. I have shorted it and the needle does move, so now need to work on the temp being displayed. Explain like I'm five, though - what's the best selection of values? 38.47 ohms is 100c and 50 is 197.29, would that be enough? -

Sorry Jeremy, my poor attempt at humour. Interesting stuff that they're pursuing this though, not sure if it's a departure from their mission statement or a way to broaden the business to make the core product (Grenadier) more viable.

Td5 Temp Gauge and Sender - A Discovery

Because INFE (see above), this continues. I have finally been able to get the sender out and replace with a standard temporary one (threw my old one away when fitting new, like an idiot). The sender is the correct part number for the gauge, so there's no obvious win there. I have been given a table to check the resistance against by chucking it in a cup of just-boiled water. I think it's roughly where it should be, which is not what I wanted to find out. Is there any easy way to test te gauge isn't at fault? I'm thinking of rigging a very simple circuit up to the alternator but it's effort and I don't know if there's any easy way to check that others know? -
Those are outstanding, how great to have this kind of content on the forum.

Gearbox crossmember - how to remove?
ThreePointFive replied to Junglie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
That's what I was referring to with "hi lift". 🙂 -

ThreePointFive replied to Junglie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Would you get enough swing on the handle for a hi lift underneath? Unless you're attacking from the top... I found liberal application of grease helped slide mine back in. So to speak. -
I get the idea that more "stuff" = more "stuff" to go wrong, but even in an overlanding situation I can't see how your radio or heated rear screen breaking is going to leave you stranded. The only windows I've ever had go u/s were manual winders.... I'd rather have comforts for even a short while than not at all. The idea of a completely stripped out car for the sake of it just seems unnecessary to me.

Seems they're still doing that, in a fashion:

That video can't be right, where's the loud clicking noises that you can't track down? 😡

The EBay Christ I fancy that 4x4 + its cheap thread
ThreePointFive replied to Hybrid_From_Hell's topic in International Forum
I was going to say it's not cheap, but surely even a cosmetic restoration plus vehicle cost can't leave much out of 12k. -
