Thanks for all the replies. I had not checked for cable breaks inside the rubber sheathing that houses the cables between the body and the door. The live feed cable was broken! All sorted now! Thanks again.

Hi. I have an '04 Defender TD5. The electric window on the drivers' side has stopped working. I have checked the cables for breakages etc and no probs. The passenger side window works fine, and always has. I have tested the wires that go into the motor and i can't get a reading on my tester. The window has always worked fine until yesterday, when it became intermittent and then stopped working completely. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that bogmonster, I have entrusted the job of overhauling it to my mechanic!!! The bottom line is, if he can't fix it, i'll have to have a reconditioned one, there is a place in birmingham that does them with a 2 year warranty for £700. Well, that's got to be better than the main dealers price of £1400+VAT+fitting!!!

There is a shuttle valve and switch inside the WABCO unit, i'm seriously considering dismantling the unit in order to see if there is anything i can fix inside the unit. after all, someone somewhere has assambled the unit. The fault i'm getting is "ABS SHUTTLE VALVE SWITCH FAILURE" Any ideas?

After now having the ABS/TC warning lights come on 3 times, and having the fault diagnosed and cleared 3 times, it is confirmed that the fault is being caused by the ABS units' shuttle valve failing. As i'm sure many will know, a new WABCO ABS unit will set me back approx £1300. Has anyone ever dismantled or had dismantled one of these units in order to sort the problem out, as it seems to be a really common problem with the WABCO unit. Or is there any way of sorting the problem, ie slamming hard on the brakes every now and then, or bleeding the system? Any help greatly appreciated. 2004 TD5, hard top 90.
