    Brake/ tail lights
    1157LEdP21/2wphillipsLEd from Autobarn comes in a pack of 2. 12 year warranty $54.99
    or BAY15D from Bright lights

    BAY15S fit everything else but as per Richs comment you need a resistor for the LED on the indicators. A two pack Load resistors Part LR12/2 is avaible at Autobarn and other places

    Hope the RC plane is fun

    You gents are correct. Very happily keeping my Disco 3 and back being more than confident it will be more than 1/2 a million kilometres before I start looking for a replacement.


    Five years ago I solved a lot of occasional problems and faults by putting LED lights in the stop lights! Nice gents from Ritta mentioned in passing a failed brake light globe was replaced at the last service. My ears pricked up but brain must have been in snooze mode. My 5 year old LED brake light globe was replaced with OEM type which my car chews up in sub 3 months and then sulks about with several types of odd and unlinked faults.


    Re reading my five year old post in the LED lights clicked my brain back into gear. I had noted gear box issues due to the blow brake light. Replaced all LED globes and I cannot fault anything again. I may have been a sook myself by blaming the gear box but I have nice clean gear box oil now!

    Interestingly while two incandescent brake light globes installed less than a month ago had both blown, None of the other rear incandescent globes had failed at all.

    Nicest bit is the LED globes now in the back of my car as brake lights have a 12 year warranty.

    I did replace all the other globes with LED this time. Load resistors needed on indicators

    My Permargin back in place

    What is with a car that has a dependency on the frigging brake light globes to make the gearbox work? I love my D but wow, sometimes I do wonder.

    Fully agree. Thankfully it is easy to fix IF you know the problem. Noted a number of odd faults being reported in D4s on the fourm. I wonder if they might have a realated type problem. They have LED globes already of course. My brake switch was like many D3 owners another significant input to my car sulking. Again a easy fix.

    I wonder if mine was dumped by its first owner due to its many mysterious faults almost 10 years ago. It was traded in to a local Landrover dealer who sent it to auction where I got it. I assume sent to auction rather than sale by them to avoid dealing with a buyer coming back consistently with faults they were unable to find.

    Finding a problem we can fix is not drama. Having a fault which such as the reason for this thread my gearbox can coast a lot of money $5-15k was the quotes for a gear box which is probably not needed.

    It is newer cars as it is not just our discos with odd electrical faults. A mate with a very pricey 4wd is a total lemon as no one can find why it is stuffed! family members with a holden have had several problems. Ying and Yang
