This morning the driveway was full of people installing a gps tracker and collecting a roof tent and a water tank recently sold on ebay.
This afternoon was spent tidying up the spagetti bolognese of wiring underneath the dashboard and fitting a new stereo.
I have bought a Kenwood KDC-BT60U which has direct ipod control and bluetooth.
The ipod sits in the glovebox and is accessed from the front control of the unit which works in a similar way to the ipod itself and is very easy to use and sounds fantastic.
It also has a bluetooth hands free kit built in. Once again this is very easy to use, it uploads all you numbers and automatically mutes the music when in use.
One other nice touch is the fact that the display and button colour can be changed to match the rest of the instruments. Sad but I prefer it all to match.
This picture also shows the 3 Carling switches which operate the rooflights (front and rear) and the changeover and purge switches for the veg oil system.
The microphone is for the VHF/UHF set.
I also managed to wire up the compass illumination and run the main cables from the battery to the boot.
As it's a bank holiday I hope to make some progress with the elctrics in the boot before I go back to work.

You have a beautiful website especially your papes (of course I'm a Disco owner)
please let me know where can I buy a anlog clock instead of the original
Thanks,

Thank you for the kind words.
The analogue clock is from a late model Range Rover Classic. Often referred to as the 'soft dash' model. In 94/95 they had a very similar dashboard to the disco but had and analogue clock. They are a direct swap.
I searched on ebay until one came up just search for range Rover clock.
Cheers
Ralph
