age.
Don't take what I say too hard please.
I hate those things. I would rather spend time to use either a bullit connector or a Lucar connector.

As for the TD5. Sorry I keep well away from the modern electronically controlled things  :twisted:

I only know the Defender from what I worked on eons ago and from my own Defender.

Just a point...
I wired my headlights up as per the post I linked.
All NEW bits. I've had nowt but trouble with the left headlight since. I see the thing isn't working again.
Even working on do it properly do it once hasn't worked here  :roll:

Litch:
"Back on topic - my light (off/side/dip) switch has an annoying habit of not staying on dip - it just flicks back to side unless I hold it into the dip position for a few seconds.
Any ideas? Just a good clean out, or do I have to resort to the £60 part (£25 last time I looked on eBay).
Ben"

Not uncommon, not usually a problem with the switch itself (unless there is no positive 'stop' when the switch is on but is caused by the rubber gater pulling on the switch.
Pull the gater out of its seat in the column shroud and see if that helps, if it does (and it probably will) you just need to adjust the shroud so there is no pressure on the gater when the switch is pulled back. I had the same problem and it took me less than 5-minutes to fix mine. :lol:

Mike - your LH headlight.  My previous Defender (P Reg) had a recall on the LH headlamp loom when it was fairly  new - there was a replacement section from under the bonnet somewhere right through under the wing into the headlamp housing.  Maybe relevant, maybe bo**ocks - shame not to mention it tho.

(Garage says no doubt at all the coolant over-pressure is gasket (at the least)  Cheers, A

Yes well... Exactly that might help someboody. :D
Have a look at www.lrtech.co.uk.
Headlight wiring the correct way I think I titled it.

I wouldn't use the wire that Land Rover provide for parking lights never mind headlights  :roll:

There is a six month old wiring system in there.
I trhink I'll be renewing the wiring block to the headlight again  :lol:
