Still some work to do the bulk of it done..
Replaced the front brake pads on my 99 td5 Defender 130 with 110,000kms on the clock
They were the original factory fitted Lockheed pads. Pretty happy with that service life - wish I'd replaced them with the same brand!
Well, for the last couple of weeks, I've been tracing a fault in my rhs blinker circuit on my 1984 110 truck cab.
I'm finding some horrible things and it's looking like I might have to install another wiring loom to run the auxiliary lights, (blinkers, brake, tail, Parker, reverse) because it will be near impossible to run a new wiring loom without ripping the body off the chassis, and I don't want to do that.
I'm finding that a lot of the cables that are or have been exposed to the elements are perished and the insulation has cracked and caused the cable cores to break down. Still haven't found the actual short yet, but getting cloSer. It's not the actual blinkers, the hazard switch is by-passed, the relay is fine, and it's got a new indicator stalk, this is why I am thinking about the loom.
New wheels (should have ordered these with the car, have been kicking myself for the last 5 years...) and new tyres... BFG Ko2's....

Rather than put the repaired loom back in the rail , just re wraped in tape / spiral wrap and attached it along the rail . That way its easer to get at all the off shoot/connectors in the future . Also left a pull line inside thr rail for future..Quote:
