never seen that done on a landy before, suppose there's a first time for everything

I weren't sure but it was done like that on me maestro van never had a radio in a traccta before.
 
But purples my permanent live, won't that leave the light on all the time? I'll give it a go with the battery thanks sean, I know two of them work for sure.

Wiring the speakers straight to earth on a more modern radio will at best reduce its power output massively, or more likley confuse the buggery out of/cook the amp in the unit. Strongly not advisable.
 
a defender and the only wiring issues you have are with the radio.you either got a good one or have lots more grief to come
