Eurovox radio/cassette..how to remove? Help!

G'day workers....

Before I do a 'trial and error monstering' to remove the Eurovox 6315R
radio/cassette from my 1997 Defender, has anyone ( who knows) got the time
to outline the method of getting the unit out of the dash ?

I'd really appreciate it. It'll be better than trying to 'work it out'
with a hammer amd chisel! ))))

..... frodo.

Link to a photo may help.

Has it got two holes either side? .. If so a modified wire coat hanger
inerted in each hole will release the locking tabs so you can skin your
knuckles in the tape deck while pulling it out.

Thanks, Lee....

There _are_ two small slots about 0.5mm x 5mm. I got two flat wires from a
street sweeper ( if I ever see these when in the 'big city', I pick 'em
up...tempered,carbon steel, about 0.5 x 3 mm... _so_ handy! )) ) and
slid them down the sides as far as possible and the unit just slid out.
Amazing!!!

I'm now in the process of sorting the wires ( fortunately I have the LR
electrical circuits and library) and matching to the new sound unit .

Routing speaker wires to the rear is my current 'focus' ( see another
post). When all is done, I'll have "sound", hopefully above the diesel
engine and road music! )

Best wishes,

..... frodo.

G'day Lee...

Knuckles ???

Yeah... the knuckles _are_ still a bit of a worry when I walk aroun'
........ I _try_
to keep 'em up, but they just touch the ground..... hey, only _just_,
though !!! Not really a 'drag'
of 'em! )

I drove several hours from my place to the Big Smoke to see my daughters
just today ( Saturday down here in Oz). I walked across the Sydney
CBD....... Hehhehhehheh... _and_ kept a 'lookout' for any of these
broken off street sweeper brushes...... Would you believe it, not a _one_
!!! Still, I have a small supply from past visits to the "Smoke'. Up the
coast here they don't have these machines.

Don't know where you are, but maybe you can find some too.. ! ))))

...... Back to the real world... I got some beaut heat shrink plastic
tubing today to secure
the good old Landrover electrics when I instal the new "Sound System" ))
.... Hard to believe there are so many wires shuffling around behind the
dash.... at least the audio will be OK.

Thanks for the words.

Catchya aroun'...

..... frodo.
