TD5 radio bezel wire/clips

kennyb87 · May 6, 2022

I bought a 110 and the bezel on the radio fascia wasn't in correctly. I've got a new radio to go in but I'm not sure how the wire retention clips actually fit in to keep everything secure. Has anybody got a picture of the rear so I can see how it all goes together

Thanks

I haven't got any pictures, but I had exactly this problem. I assume you're talking about the later style TD5 dash with the centre console with switches round the outside and the radio in the middle. The radio used to fall out when I went over bumps. I bought new components but couldn't get them to hold together, so I gave up and fastened the fascia panel to the centre console with self tapping screws. I spaced them evenly so it looks like they're meant to be there (there are other visible self tappers on the standard defender dash of that era anyway) and my radio hasn't fallen out since.

Yeah that sounds like the problem I'm having. My old TD5 90 was secure and never moved but can't say the same for this 110. The radio fascia/bezel isn't fastened in correctly and I've no idea how the wire retaining clips work to fasten them back in again

This is the item I'm talking about

Yes, that's pretty much it. You can get the radio holder to sit fairly firmly in the middle of the plate, but the plate doesn't sit firmly in the dash panel. I just got some black finished self tappers that match all the other exposed screw heads in the Land Rover interior and screwed them into the crack between the bezel and the surrounding panel and they wedge it in tightly.
