What do you think of the 'new' Defender?
Scotts90 replied to JimAttrill's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
At least by the time the Landcruiser is due for a change you could buy a new defender without the flaming torch and pitchforks being waved for committing vehicular blasphemyđ Iâll be having a trip to the stealer for a little chat... -
Thoughts and musings on the new defender
Scotts90 replied to Jamie_grieve's topic in New Defender Forum (2020 onwards)
The G wagen also evolved from humble beginnings and is now one of Mercs most expensive models...starting price of ÂŁ95k OTR. If anything itâs the closest in terms of military and utility use within its past. -

Must agree with the evo article too. -

I think it looks fine, although will be waiting to see one and get a seat in it before placing an order....a 110 with some choice options quickly gets well into D5 HSE territory and at that it will take some convincing to sway SWMBO. 85ecus did make me laugh but surely itâs on par with most new vehicles? Times change as do technologies. My 200 needs 1 power supply to keep it running but would I like the 200 in a new car? Of course not as itâs âof itâs timeâ, Fords lowest spec eco boost 3 pot has almost the same power. There will always be rose tinted nostalgia over the original defender...most of us on here have comprehensively rebuilt/replaced/restored and upgraded the factory built foibles that Solihull fitted them with and as such have created our own version that we have a worrying mechanical intimacy with so I can see it from both sides. This wonât stop me from buying the new one though (thatâs the wifeâs job đ) -
Yes that's the one

I'll echo that. My Clarke has survived abuse and done a lot of welding over the last 18yrs (150 amp model) so don't discount them. I keep threatening to replace it but it still plods away and for a budget/DIY spec machine it can lay down some nice welds.

Absolutely chuffin fantastic! Beautifully done Ross with great detail. I doff my virtual cap, sir

Taillamp wiring and econoseal plugs

No there's no requirement to bridge it out. I have full XS td5 looms, including using as much of the td5 engine loom as possible. No inertia switch installed or bridged, on the td5 it feeds the ecu and fuel pump relay...as the tdi uses neither it serves no purpose.

Don't want to state the "bleedin" obvious...but that pic with the ratchet attached shows you have the caliper fitted upside down as I can just see the nipple cover at the bottom of the pic. The change in orientation may give you the very minimal clearance that there appears to be on Westerns pics.

As yet no one seems to produce an inner repair section for the vent and screen mount area. You get extended footwell sections that take you up to just under the fold, above that it's good old fashioned cardboard and sheet metal, combined with copious quantities of tea and swearing...with a bit of welding and grinding too. Seen worse, repaired worse...as have many on here.

easiest option disco 200 tdi or 300 tdi
Scotts90 replied to vinnie mc's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
page 10, about half way down and you'll see the 11L stripped of its timing case and a list of the bits needing swapped. -
The 3 wire one is for your blower/heater
-
The orange/green orange purple plug is for the passive coil
-
It slides over the part of barrel at the key slot, itâs shaped to match the td5/tdci barrel so will only fit one way
-
Yes thatâs it. đ

easiest option disco 200 tdi or 300 tdi
Scotts90 replied to vinnie mc's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
I did exactly as western suggested, changing the timing chest and ancillaries over to turn the disco (12L) into a defender (11L). Not the hardest thing to do but time consuming. Just remember to crack the crank pulley bolt before stripping the engine out...then youâll only have to swear at removing the one from the donor engine -
Yes it is. Mine had gone porous

Just to add some further info on your 10AS. If the immobiliser is programmed âonâ and the fob is paired then you will need the transponder coil (AMR4897) that goes around the ignition barrel. This is required to allow the immobiliser to receive the proper signals to disarm when its in the proximity of the coil. Obviously youâll need the fob to have a battery installed for it to operate. Failure to have this part of the circuit wonât allow the starter relay to energise and kick the starter. Not all 10AS or td5 looms were configured for immobilisation, it depends on the spec

2015 Defender 110 fuse identification help
Scotts90 replied to Maverik's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Iâve got the MY12 workshop manual, produced 11/05/2011 and it only covers the 2.2 ID4...so the published MY12 wiring diagram is showing 10/2011....should be the 2.2 as well. Or in true LR fashion itâs a best guess. -
Harsh. Lol

2015 Defender 110 fuse identification help
Scotts90 replied to Maverik's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Hmm. My 2012 wiring diagram shows fuse F5 as a 20A...going no where. Not much help. Connector number is C0570C-16, C0570 is a generic under fusebox connector Fuse f5p is a 5A shown as going to âheater-engine breatherâ -
Youâll need to programme the 10AS to allow the interior lights to work. Thatâs what I had to do in mine (full td5 XS looms with a 200tdi) The OBD plug on your td5 loom will allow this to be carried out using a suitable device
