Anywhoo, still want it if its available but will need posting as you are wayyyy to far from me! Would love to have come down ,shame I can't.

Yeah, it was going with the complete car - and to be honest... given the state of it, even if Jack doesn't take it, I don't think the amp board is going to be much use at this point as the rats have got through a load of the wiring.

The head unit however, is here at home - and I actually have a working DSP amp that I'm open to selling (I will try and test it here again before I say 100% it's still working! I think I've still kept the stereo test loom here for all of that and didn't send it to NZ.) So can potentially get you sorted that way with head unit and DSP amp instead if you want?

I've been doing some googling and, quite a lot actually, posts have come up regarding amps and other stuff I don't understand really. Anywhoo, mines a 2001 dhse with no factory fitted sat nav so I'm guessing I don't have the door amps. I don't know what dsp means but I do have the HK system with tweeters(?) In the front doors, twin speaker subwoofer(cones are toast) and a cd player all in one lump in the boot. Cd player works, nowt from the rear passenger speakers or the subwoofer speakers. I'm hoping to get it all working again so ...dunno what I need but if I need your bits then yes I'm interested.
Everything is factory on this car which is how I like it but I'm no ice expert, far far from it so plug and play with some explainable wiring alterations is right up my street!

Over 200 miles from me...hmm... definitely want the amp thing and possibly the head unit, if a faulty head unit can be a cause of non functioning 2nd row speakers? That's if no one wants the whole vehicle of course.

Jackk is interested in the whole vehicle, so if he confirms that he's taking it, then I would rather keep it as intact as possible and the head unit would probably go with that vehicle too, as his intention would be to restore it, so I'll obviously try to give him as much of a head start as I can with that, given the state of it!

If he decides not to take it, then things like the DSP amp board would be postable to you. But will update once I've had time to send some pics of the RR to Jack.

That's fine , much better for you. If he doesn't take the whole car I would be interested in the whole shebang, ie the amp, wiring, speakers, head unit, everything really that will give me the sound back as I don't know what's knacked on mine nor do I have the ice experience to figure out what's duff and what isn't. Until I got the 38 the most advanced sound system I've had is what I fitted in my 85 110 landrover. That had nowt in it, fitted a radio/tape player, perm live, switched live and 4 speakers. Quite pleased with myself and thought myself pretty advanced with left right front rear balance and a tape player!
I do know the boot speakers are in tatters in the 38 the 2nd row speakers don't work either, maybe that's linked but....clueless I'm afraid.

It's a 2001. Dhse.

Thanks. I'll have to read that a few times to get my head around it.
Forgot to say, even my oe stereo doesn't need a code.

I've had my car for just over 2 yrs, restoration project. I fitted a new battery at the time and she fired right up(diesel), I've been able to remove the battery a few times since and never had any issues with alarms going off, eka code, immobiliser issues, nowt, just reset windows, clock and sunroof.
My question is that the red led in the fob flashes once when the key is inserted in the ignition (that's normal I believe) so what does that one flash signify?
Would the car still start if the fob got wrecked? Just remote lock/unlock wouldn't work anymore, which it does fine. I don't have the eka code but I'm guessing I'll never need it? Because a previous owner had it all disabled?

Aww, bugger. Summer job then, Ta.
.

I was hoping the switch plunger was just a bit sticky externally and binding on the switch body from dirt/grease and a 'wash' might fix it. Having never looked at a latch I don't know if this wash can be done in situ after removing the card and peeling back the water shedder. I'm reluctant to remove the latch at this stage.

Only the front passenger door, it usually works if you leave the door open long enough say 15 secs. Guessing this is a sticky micro switch in the latch? Wondering if I whip the door card off can I free it off with a squirt of contact cleaner or has the latch got to come off to access?

It would be nice to have a functioning sound system marty for sure.
Still don't know where you are to help?

Done the job before I saw your reply Pete , a pencil was what I used which is probably 8mm. Quite an easy job really, 20mins all done and leak cured.

Where is the workshop? I've got a 2001 dhse with the Harmon garden (or whatever it's called!) Sound system. OE stereo but terrible sound, front door speakers work ie- sound comes out, 2nd row speakers don't work at all, the thing in the boot does nowt although I did get the cd player going briefly.
I have read your post on the install of the amp but got bamboozled by the techy talk.
Anywhoo, would your set up fit into mine and retain steering controls? I like that feature.

Answered my own question, forgot I had a good spare dunlop front spring in the attic. The collet does need to come out, easy enough once you've got a purchase on it, lifting it up with a finger nail enables a suitable tool, I used a thin steel trim removal tool that you would use to pop door cards off, and it levers out quite easily. Two O rings in there, pick type tool to hook them out or a piece of bent welding rod that I used. Wiggle the new seals in and a pencil blunt end to push them down square until they seat back into the grooves they came from. Doing it on the car will be more fiddly, I might have to bend my trim tool to fit it in as it's a bit long.

How to change them? It's the front off side, leaking around the collet outside, pipe is good, clean and home fully. Does the collet need to be removed to change these seals? New seals arrived this morning , intending to do the job in a few days when I don't need the car incase something goes wrong hahaha!

The differance in lead length is slight. I've got rears on the front, only mod, from memory, is to slit a rubber grommet or two(lenghways) and transfer them to the new sensor lead as necessary. A discreet tie wrap or two holds the grommets together or glue them.

That's it Pete.
