Was BBus standard?
I was under the impression all SW versions of puma engined defenders had BBUS fitted behind the headlight. Mine shows no sign of there ever being anything in there. Can I probably was a bit quick in ordering the relocation loom without checking first! Cant see it located anywhere else. Is there a way to check easy ?

Sounds like a similar situation to myself - should have checked before I ordered!

Mine is a 2009 XS station wagon and I can't find it, so i'm guessing it wasn't a standard option?

Not all 07 to 2011 Puma TDCi defender have wire and plug in place in the wing loom

check C1264 plug if you only have one black wire concreted in the plug you will not have the brown BBUS plug at head light end. If you have 4 black wire concreted in the plug you will brown BBUS plug at head light end. all is not lost if your loom is missing wiring and brown plug

It's not behind either headlight on my 2013 model. I know it has one fitted as I've inadvertently set it off, but I'm dammed if I can find it (which is a good thing).

Perhaps LR installed them differently on later vehicles? Darren

Td5s have the harness with the plug. If your TDCi doesn't, you can pick up a Td5 harness from a breaker.

WindyJ, I did the exact same when I bought a BBUS relocation loom! Laughing The advantage was, after I found my wiring harness did not include a BBUS connector, and after I actually got a BBUS(!), I just added the pins to the relocation loom and plumbed it straight into the C1264 connector.

Took a bit of mining to find the relevant info as naturally most folk aren't too keen to share security system info.
