    The interior lights are working but I noticed that the glove box light is not working.
    Once again the bulb is fine.

    Ha ha the saga continues

    find all earth points on the vehicle and give them a clean with emery paper and screw on tight, if fuses and bulbs appear ok then it must be a dicky earth. Have you actually put a multi meter on the pos feed wires to you problem points, if there is power then it's got to be an earth prob.

    another thing, put out all your fuses one by one under the drivers side panel. check each fuse and also the fuses in the engine bay.
    I have found stuff not working and though it was a particular fuse only to find some other fuse was blown.

    As you know Solihull electrical department, grabs a heap of different coloured wired , screws them up in a bundle and then throws them at a land rover.
    It all started back in the series days, have a look, you see wires dangling everywhere, there was not a clip or tape to be found

    I did that last night after my last post. There is no power at all.
    I spent some time on google and I have read about a few people with the same problem as I have. They say the problem is in the head light switch on the steering column.
    I think I have one laying around so I will dig it out this afternoon and swap them over and see how I go.
    Keep you all posted.
    And once again thanks for the help guys.

    Ha ha I WIN!!!

    Just to let everyone know that I found the problem and I thought I would let everyone know..

    I changed the headlight switch on the steering column but it made no difference.

    So running out of options I changed the front right park light socket, (because after all it was the only one that had a blown bulb in the first place)

    And that was the problem.. For the right hand side..
    The left hand side problem was the rear park light socket.

    So I’m glad that’s over.

    Thanks for all the Help..

    Merry Christmas

    good you got it sorted.
    strange how land rover can daisy chain the whole electrical system, so when one component goes bung it effects all others, no wonder auto elects don't like to work on them

    I had the same problem, took me 3 days to find and fix the problem in the end the globe holders had dirty contacts, gave them a clean and away i went, after pulling half the car apart that is.
