Big Rich:
I have a 1969 series 2b and I am trying to wire up the hazard warning switch.

What wire goes where? :?  Can enyone tell me how to wire it up please.

Thanks

Rich

cheapest, easiest and probably tackiest way is to short the left hand indicator live to the right hand one and then turn an indicator on :D

granted it flashes slowly, but it works ;)

Hi Rich,

They didn't have them in 1969 and you don't need them for your MOT.

I have seen posts on it before, either on here or on the Series 2 club forum. I can probably dig them out, but not got time tonight.

If you haven't already, it's worth becoming a member, definitely worth joining the forum even if it's to find a way of not crucifying your electrics. Please don't bodge it, Forward Controls are a bit too precious...

Regards,
Rob.

Hi Bob

I have been to two Mot places in Northants and one in Yorkshire where I got the forward control from and all said it would not pass without one. I was under the immpression that you didn't.

I have bought a hazard light switch from Vehicle wiring products but the instructions are unclear.

The last resort will be let the garage do it but I like to do it myself then I know its done proporly.

I have the help of retired R.E.M.E (Royal Electrical Mecanical Engineers)  chap for the welding and pannel beating as I am still learning. Good enought for farm equipment but ot for the forward control.

Will look into the series 2 club.

Hi Rich,

This below is an excerpt from The MOT Testers Manual

Vehicles first used before 1 April 1986
A hazard warning device is not required by Regulation, but, if one is fitted, it must be tested.
The hazard warning lamp 'tell tale' may be a separate light or the same as the indicator 'tell-tale. However, it must be a flashing light.

I would get them to ask them to check, or better still, find a "Landrover friendly" garage in your area. Try a new post asking for a garage near you.

Regards,
Rob
