I love this vid. I have Those relay in my old 930 turbo and always wondered how to test them. Awesome. I getting that Relay tester. I like the use of the turn light. Smart.

Matt Allen snap on tools are not a requirement!

[@mjallenuk]

***** You're bloody right they're not ... I do have access to a tame snap on man but the misses would beat me to death with anything I attempted to purchase from him!

[@trailerfitter2]

(unless you have a secret bank account). All the tools seen in the vids are needed for work except the large Vantage Ultra. Thats for the LRTV tutorials.

[@mjallenuk]

***** I wouldn't mind any of them but I'd only have half a clue how to turn them on let alone use them ... lol

Thanks for the video, I have a short circuit in the Right side tail light + the dash board circuit whenever I put 10 amp fuse it blows in few seconds. What is the best tool for the diagnosis ? my car is Defender 110 model 2006 , Tdi engine

[@trailerfitter2]

A headlight bulb connected into where the fuse goes and it will go dim when you find the short ( by wiggly wires)

I need some help, first off let me say that I am disabled and a little limited but I always loved working on my cars, the problem is I bought this car not really knowing anything about it. The more I learn about it the more I really like this car and I see what makes it so special, but I gotta tell you I really need you to try to enlighten me as to why my 2002 discovery 2 only starts when it wants to. Then after it does start it needs to cool off after 5-6 blocks while the two green lights blink endlessly. Then I'm off without any problem except it does seem to slip some. By the way mienke just ripped me off for 650.00 for a water pump, thermostat and coolant, not to mention they broke the fan clutch. bad decision on my part. Paid and then took it back, nothing had been done.

Albert Flores Starting may well come down to immobiliser problems.

Albert Flores As for garage repairs I will not comment on professional repairs or costs. I am a tradesman myself.
