A nice job.
Where have you connected the other end of the earth lead (which I assume is the clear insulated cable)? Mahn '08 Defender 110 ex '95 Disco 300 Tdi www.aulro.com |

The earth is direct from the battery terminal (photo 13) and yes it is clear type. I believe the cables are what all the young guys use to power their power amps so they can ruin ther hearing (speeking as a farther of three such teenagers). I think they are either 70 o 80 amp rated but I have fused at 50 which should be more than enough. Boy |

Great job there Chap Just wondering, why did you place the fuse box into the under seat battery compartment (it may get wet) I mounted my extra fuse box in the left under-dash area.

Andrew you quite right there and i thought long and hard about where to locate it. I don't generally do prolonged wading, nothing more than a river crossing in the Pyrenees or the Alps. I also looked under the drivers seat and thought "I should me concerned about that stuff than my stuff" . Once the wiring is done I intend to seal up all the lower places where water can come in then fit a rubber drain vaulve much like the ones you get on a early tdi air filter. On other preiviously owned rovers I have mounted it higher up, one I had a distrubution board mounted on the roof of the back, this seemed a little over the top for a new vehilce and as i find myself getting older I tend not to be so extream in my offroading and am happy with touring and trailing. It should be noted that always in the back of my mind is that "will this one last" and "will I have to get rid of it" again! I popped over to Northampton at the weekend and when I got back the was a nocking noise coming from the transmission . It soon stopped and it may only just be the handbrake drum issue but it is still a worry for a vehilce that has only covered 650 miles. So anyway that where I am. As an after thought Andrew where did you take the trigger feed for you lights as the next job (of many) is to fit the switch pannel into the dash. Boy |

I have done the same as you but I have taken out the plastic cup holders fwd of the cubby box and fitted an aluminium flat plate and mounted two Hella sockets and one cigaret lighter fitting which are all switched. Saves me loosing power to the GPS everytime I shut off the ignition.
I think seeing your pictures that I am going to fit a proper fuse box instead of the loose in line fuses however to look more professional. Great job though - love that heat shrink stuff - I discovered it for the first time the other day and use it on all my connections. Puma 110 - gone Series III 1973 - going strong |

The deep cycle is in the load bay in a battery box as the one supplied by LR is just too big to fit another next to it unless I would have had to buy two new smaller batteries.
I see some of you have two in the battery box but in RSA our batteries are huge. Cheers James Puma 110 - gone Series III 1973 - going strong |
