Gentlemen,

Thanks for your help - and words of encouragement. I plucked up the confidence to just try it myself.

First problem solved was the cage - it does fit, I had a tab bent slightly out of true and it was catching on the underside where I couldn't see it. Fortunately I discovered this before I got the knives out! Wink
Once the cage was in I was amazed at how sturdy it turned out to be with a few bits of bent tin holding it steady.

I routed the mic to the A pillar (discovering in the process that a previous owner hadn't been entirely careful with counting the screws out and back in again when removing the dash top at some point) and tested everything. I don't know how effective it will be with a TD5 at full chat less than two feet away but apparently the sound quality is great with the engine off... Whistle

Glad you got it sorted Thumbs Up

Liking the display colour of the new head unit too, should go well with the instrument displays.
