hi to every one and merry crimbo..
ok so here goes 200tdi discovery coming back from town the other day changing from 2nd to 3rd and nothing no drive checked other gears and nothing wont select anything so changes the transfer box to lock diff and low box and nothing still so gets it towed home by friend and checked linkages on top of transfer box they all seemed ok it was odd as there was no bang or grating everything was fine does any body know what the problem is or is it another gearbox to be fitted.
it does seem as though something is going round in box just wont select anything.
cheers

I have a 200 tdi with the same tyres 235/85/16 i also have that problem although i have been told the disco transfer box i have (1.222) is geared too low with the tyres i have will sit all day at 60mph but hit a hill i have to drop it into 4th gear and rev its nuts off to get up the hill once on a stright back into 5th and seems ok but i rarely get the thing over 70mph on motorway too bloody noisy i go deaf after half hour of that i think i may have a similar problem but i have been told its the gearing

Test light.
Headlights switched on.
One wire from test light to Blue wire from headlight switch. The other wire from test light to earth.
Does the test light work ?
If no the new switch is faulty.
If yes ...Proceed.
Headlight switych on.
Test light to Blue/Red (dip) wire at dip switch.
Does the test light light up.
If no, Dip switch is faulty.
If yes. Check the Blue/white the same way.
Does headlight flash work ?
There you go. That should occupy you for all of half an hour. Then answers please.
mike
yes both wires are live when switched on and the headlight flash dont work either but the wire goes live....
also didn,t mention this previously but the oil light on dash is always on even if i disconnect it from the switch....
checked voltage coming from the blue and red wire out of that voltage transformer it reads 0.06
everything points to that in my book but i am useless when it comes to electrics

here goes the full dashboard i have taken out to gain access to all the wires.
dip beam and main beam not working looked in the haynes manual page 13.15 (dip beam circuit) and i am thinking that the voltage transformer is at fault
the light switch is brand new side lights come on ok as does the fog light, the relay behind the dash is working ok as it clicks when i switch the lights on this is a small relay next to the big coloured one but i have no power to the fuses that go to headlights what so ever
has any body come across this before.......
or any body got any ideas ......

If you have a Def diff it will fit both front and rear. No need to turn upside down. In fact I don't think you can turn it over. As long as the spline count is the same all should be well
it is going to come of a M reg disco thats waiting to be scrapped

just a few pics of our morocco trip, brilliant time went across the atlas mountains and part of the sahara desert

can somebody please verify what i have heard can you swap the front differential with a back differential just by turning it upside down, been to morocco on a off road trip with a few friends and unfortunately the front diff bearing has a bit of a wobble and oil has leaked out but my 21 year old 90 got me home ok i have been offered a rear diff and told just turn it upside down and it will be ok
cheers

As FF says as long as the air is going from in front of the radiator (Outside the vehicle) to behind it (inside the engine bay) then it doesn't matter whether the fan is sucking or blowing to achieve it... Fan in front of the radiator would need to blow, or a fan behind the radiator would need to suck- or for real over kill... one in front blowing and one behind sucking (oh er missus
)cheers both answered my question my fan is in between the engine and radiator so it needs to suck i will nip outside and swap the wires round on fan motor
-
defender 90 200tdi engine electric fans which way do they blow ?
does it want to draw the air into the engine bay
or
blow out towards the fan
sounds like a silly question but read somewhere it is supposed to suck air in im confused now as mine blows air out onto the radiator

I purchased a damaged Eazi Awn RTT last year that had been driven under a low carpark barrier. After alot of faffing around with the local dealer I called the factory in South Africa and ordered the parts direct.
The telex transfer was done in USD because they couldn't work with our local UAE currency...but other than that it was painless. The new PVC cover, replacemnt ladder bits and a single strut arrived by parcel post within 2 weeks.
The guy in SA first told me to deal with my local agent but after I explained the situation of dealing with dumpties he was quite happy to deal directly with me.
cheers think this is the road i will go down first,, you have heard the saying, i'll speak to organ grinder not the monkey...

1987 defender fitted with 200tdi engine that doesnt really matter so here goes :-
when switching to main beam the n/s doesn't work, now the problem checked the voltage in the blue and grey wire reads approx 10v to 11v with engine not on, now me thinking that its ok live feed there but as i connect it to the bulb it drops to 0 volts
, i have the earth wire straight to body with others from idicator and side light and they all work ok o/s works fineIs it worth running a wire from the other side to feed them both
cheers
