Hi Julian,
Thanks for the quick response. The garage people that worked on my
vehicle are German or rather Alamandish speaking, very little English.
We tried to understand each other in some way.
They did a number of things. Basically they got the car through the
vehicle inspection test in order for me to register it in Germany.
Adjusting the headlights, replaced the timing belt, replaced some of the
Aircon aluminum pipes and worked on the aircon making sure there were no
leaks. They worked on the wheel bearings and replaced the handbrake
brake shoe. They also worked on the power steering pump. It had a leak.
The alarm definitely does not work at the moment. They also could have
un plucked some wires maybe, I don't know. I know about the basics of
the engine but don't even know what to look for where in this case. I
don't know what the TVSS unit looks like and where it is located. I
have downloaded and printed the 80 series manuals. Someone posted them
on this site a while ago. Is there any instructions in there that you
know of?
It was much easier to work on my old Land Rover Series III 4 cylinder
1975 model with no electronics when we stilled lived in Namibia in the
80's and 90's.
Thanks in advance
Willie Van Der Merwe

Hi Willie,
What work did they do on the car? Sometimes if they have done work
around the area in the cab above the gearbox, they might have
accidentally knocked the alarm LED out of it's holder so it may still
be flashing, but hidden from view.
