hi all , does anyone know of anyone that repairs the harmon kardon amps ?
fitted to the p38 vogue range rovers as have three with no output
and they are hard to get a hold of second hand

regards jim
 
Could try clarion they advertise a repair service on eBay they did my head unit presume they do the rest
 
No sir. It's the amplifier chips. They are impossible to extract from the board without damage and even if you could there are no identifying marks on them to allow our hashing replacements.

If you don't have controls on the steering wheel (or can live without them) its a good excuse to get a modern integrated head unit with dedicated subwoofer output. Means you can upgrade with bluetooth, DAB, MP3 controls etc. Then just bypass all the old amps. You can probably still use the speakers.

Are there? Any that have actually been tried on a P38? I'd be interested, I always thought you had to use the work-around and do lots of chopping and splicing.

Just seen them advertised here in France, can't see why they wouldn't work, may have to chop the loom.

This.

I've recently fitted a single DIN Blaupunkt stereo/sat nav unit.
 
Those amps are crap! Ended up using a disco one on my vogue but could only use radio and not cd changer which i was able to live with
