JeffR Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think it's on the side of the steering column support under the dash and I think you just join the two blue/red wires but please check with a meter or the wiring diagram first. Mike Bugger me, one requires universal joints for elbows to get to the bloody thing! Certainly gave my knackered arm a work out, codeine is my bests friend.... All fixed now, was a combination of things, dodgy earth, cattle trucked dim dip unit and a chaffed wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffR Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Twas the chaffed wire that was the most scary! Anyone recommend a good cheap multimeter, my Draper (12 years old) Expert job has finally expired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Anything from about £4 cheapie from your local bargain basement shop is fine for a workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Not silverline! We had a few at work that showed 13v as 18v wich caused some considerable headaches and expense until we realised! I have a draper expert one that seems to do what it says on the tin, has a buzzy beepy thing for continuity that's handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Mines something like "white gold" it looks like a fluke but I believe it's maplins. TSD told me recently that a good number of cheaper multimeters are borderline dangerous but I can't remember why it was something to do with the way there were fused or not inside.

landroversforever Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 My draper expert one is great for what I use it for. Would be nice if it was autoranging but can't complain. It will never match a decent Fluke or similar, but cant go wrong for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out why my Draper one expired, bloody cat p!issed on it, that cat is vindictive - will not tell it off again (last time it got told off it p!issed in my slippers).

JeffR Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Well the wretched thing is now 4 wheel drive again, however, sat here waiting for a new front output flange bearing and oils seal to arrive.... Busted prop really really batters the bejesus out of the bearing. I really am beginning to hate this vehicle. Another job I am not looking forward to.
