that's hilarious. who said yanks don't understand irony
Sounds expensive... Or not?
SR, other than a dremel (?) what do you have in the kit? I have: tow rope. Jump leads, coolant, engine oil, serp belt, funnel and nano in the glove box. Although I don't always have it in the RR my maplins charge pack gets alot of use recovering vehicles with dodgy batteries and integrated pump - less useful for diesels tho
So here's a starter for 10. This was left over after taking the dash off and having the ducts and vents out. Clearly belongs somewhere in the HEVAC system, but where? and should I care?
I thought we cd have an "any ideas ?" thread to identify the random bit that you had left after reassembling your RR - or the random connector without a component etc
After 2 years my sun shade got re-covered in cream faux leather, a vast improvement on the sticky black piece of Abs there previously. I'll post a daylight photo tomorrow
Yep, theres an AV input at the back as well
I think the aerial runs to behind the HEVAC at the mo, to those metal boxes. Probably I shd relocate both silver boxes to the cubby box ( at some point). I think the input switching for the screen is embedded in those boxes
My Defender has done this for the last 20yrs, and no issues. That doesn't help solve the issue, but might put your mind at rest. That said, if you crack it, then I'm all ears
FInal product. I'll work on the colour match if i get seriously bored
This is a "dash off view". These two boxes are buried behind the HEVAC. The two inline fuses in the foreground are on the YW and UW wires that you see going into the top box.. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the other end, but black coax (you can see it coiled and joined in the lower foreground) seems to go in that end (presumably from the aerial, on the roof. I need to track the cabling that goes up to the seatrests, but IIRC that is the same blue cabling
Here's the wiring for the RSE - the blue audio cabling is coming from two magic silver boxes (see next)
This was the old look of the centre console - you can see 3 switches - headphones, remote sensor (presumably for Sony RC above) and power on/ off
First off - there is a Sony remote. This still works - and will change the inputs through video 1/2/ Navi (blank) and TV (fuzz). Presumably fires the sensor connected in the face of the wooden console to do this
Tray covered in "leather" - unfitted the foam makes it look untidy - but the foam is used to make sure it moulds to all the contours of the console when fitted. I will post a photo of the fitted unit tomorrow
Still hand editing links, but closing in on the solution - here's the wooden tray
OK - i'm an imgur virgin, here goes - start point, with aluminium angle screwed to the bottom and two wood pieces to brace the top hinge - someone either cut the top edge, or the plastic weld simply just broke, so the hinges were floating
Hooray, now I have to figure out how the hell i did that
lol - the shocks i took off mine did little more than act as height limiters, they went up and down like concertinas. Gas-filled Monroes will give you the best ride for the price IMHO. Bilstein are in a different price bracket. Boge are only available as fronts, for some reason
Too true. Mission complete, as of today. Did a tray out of wood, and the front lined in a few mm of foam with a distressed ( to make it look the same) PU leather covering. Wood's good as it takes multiple retaining staples for the covering. Not sure how I would have achieved the same effect using plastic tbh. The foam helps mould to the multiple contours of the centre console
I need to pull my hevac off, but I've got two small metal boxes there, maybe 3x5x10 cm, coax going in one side and audio jacks out the other: video and l/r which heads to the dvd player. They seem to be interconnected too.
I also need to check which cables are going up to the head rests
