Thread: defender 300TDI wiring diagram

I've had this problem myself, just outside our front gate so a tow-in was easy with our Disco. The wire that brings power to the solenoid had open-circuited right at the terminal crimp connector. They get a fair shaking in the good ol' smooth idling 300TDi. So I'd suggest using a circuit tester on that wire a centimetre or two back from the connector with the "ignition" switched on. If that's the problem, replace the crimp connector. Slip a bit of heat shrink over the cable before you crimp the new connector to reduce the risk of it failing again.
Trust this helps, Rob S

Check out this website. It's in Columbia and although it's mostly in Spanish, it's very easy to navigate around. It contains a whole host of Land Rover manuals. You should find one on wiring diagrams.

checked approx 1 inch back after stripping both insulations form wire, 0.422vdc thinking possibly burnt contact tips on relay (if it has one) or fractured wire somewhere,,, still chasing it, but Thanks for the input

G'day, unfortunately the schematics don't match up, mine is a 1997, 300TDI defender without EGR also without ECU ,,, Australian model, thanks for the help

Try this.

Awesome!
I have no interest in Defenders, but are there electrical diagrams of this calibre available for the D1(300 Tdi here) too?

AK83, I suggest you get a RAVE CD from the shop. Top line, above.

Or RAVE I CD

g'day Don, wrong schematic, that's the same as one of the ones listed before,
mine does not have an ECU or EGR,
i have even tried looking at the 200TDI schematic (just in case) and it is also different to mine,
but thanks for the help & your time kind regards
