    Follow on from Servicing last year

    Having acquired my 56K 96 Freelander last year I had , as posted at the time, had a full service undertaken by Stratstone in Aylesbury. To cut a long storey short, they hadn't done most of what I had requested (and agreed with them, and listed in written instructions!). I would never have...

    What are these connectors for?

    I wondered that but they ard a long way back, I'd have expected them to have exited the loom at the front? By the way, the wire in thd black plug is red and purple .

    What are these connectors for?

    Hi, anyone know what these connectors/ plugs are for? 06 model TD4. I changed out the battery yesterday ( yes it took hours because the retaining bolt seized and the captive nut just span with it :( ) and I noticed that there was a black plug was just floating loose. I found a suitable...

    Egr Blanking Mod

    I didn't have the bits as described in other posts so I just disconnected the solenoid vacuum pipe where it joins the main vacuum line, scewed a very small wood screw into the union and then put the the solenoid vacuum pipe back on the union over the screw. ...no duck noise, completely...

    Becker Satnav and CD Changer

    No one need these? I guessed a bit at the prices, by all means make me an offer, the worst case is that I say no. I leave them up for a bit and then put them on the Bay of E Cheers

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    I finally received a specific lead from the US and have now completed my set up. Probably overkill for a car, but there are often times when I am left waiting at a gate and being able to watch a film or TV is great and my youngster also loves it....although I haven't got around to copying...

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    Did you have the becker sat nav system head unit? What is the new head unit? If you had the becker unit and the new unit takes ISOs, you do not actually need an ISO harness other than for steering wheel controls. I don't know about that lead you have bought, but mine connected into a socket...

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    Thinking about this, perhaps my mistake was attaching both Positive leads from the camera at the same time. One is in the usual place at the rear with the earth lead to connect them across the reverse light and the other emerges from the RCA plug at the head unit. I'd assumed they were...

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    I may look at that in the future, as for now it has been a long weekend in every sense This is swapping in a Pioneer AVH-8400bt to a 2006 HSE Harmon Kardon Becker single din sat nav head unit connected to the Alpine CD changer and HK Amp. Saturday: Installation of the head unit should have been...

    Very nice. And very jealous of the heated screen. Had them on my old Rangies, best option they ever did :)

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    Yep, another instance where this thread has been invaluable. Even the guys at incartec ( who seemed the most helpful of all) didn't think I needed one, but I ordered one anyway according to posts here :) Been comparing wiring looms between the old and new preparing for the real work. Handily...

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    Interesting, but is that with different amps using preouts from HU to the amp, or still using the speaker cables to the original HK amp? Looks great whatever. Thanks for the photo. Can't wait to fit mine; Pioneer AVH-8400BH, mainly for the iPhone interaction

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    Hehe, thanks. I can't find one "radio specialist" that thinks it will work, but then none of them seem to know about the FL HK set up, so I think I trust you lot more :) Any way, just in case, I've ordered a HiLo loom that inserts between the head and the amp speaker cables and reduced the...

    Fitting a Double Dinn GPS/DVD into dash

    I'm looking at a simikar install in my 06 HSE. This thread has been amazingly helpful but I hope you can help me with a question. My car has the Becker single din Sat nav unit wired to the HK Amp, sub and CD changer. The head unit has nice and easy ISO sockets. I was surprised that the speaker...

    Still not learnt my lesson

    I have a small oil leak. I knew it and they did notice it. They said that they couldn't diagnose there and then and therefore steam cleaned and I should go back next month. Sensible I suppose, but changing the discs today I noticed that there was still loads of black ( original ) oil so a...

    Still not learnt my lesson

    Downgrade? The car I just dumped was an old Beemer 323i :) Perhaps I didn't make it clear. I haven't owned a Landy in over 9 years. Offering myself to sacrifice, I really like the car, as much real room inside as the old RRs and I have managed to do 200 miles without chassis bushes, power...
