The first thing I replaced was the rear hub last year pics will upload soon the next was I couldn't get any gears so I changed the master and slave cylinder .
then the battery whent flat intermittently I found two things wrong the first was the terminal's on the battery were loose and it is a 7 seater and had been converted to springs, but not fully and the computer was left on air mode.
I found this out by chance due to hearing clicking coming from the passenger side which was the compressor relays, one lad I work with has snapon diagnosis kit and fixed it for a coffee. As soon as I can its going back to air.
Then I had to change the inter lights but I've fitted leds and look smart.

The head unit is a cheap one from halfords was under 150 (Ripspeed DVD740 Single DIN 7" In-Dash DVD, MP3 CD Player) and the camera was 32 from maplin Nikkai Colour Reversing Camera 480 TVL | Maplin. Not got it all in yet as have found my drivers seat wet though and it the drain on the sunroof has snapped so getting all the bits together to do that and will route the cables up there.

Do the camera leads plug directly into the back of the headunit or do you need additional loom?

All the connectors are rca plugs at the back of the head unit a lot actually and the camera plugs in to them then very long cable which goes into a small power supply with three wires one for the camera and 12v supply taken from reverse light and ground (neg) will take some pics in the morning been at work today from the head unit spec I think there is an dvd output and another video input. When I get chance I'll look at this and see if I can either fit another camera at the front for help with future green laneing or the kids have got a 500 gig move cube loaded with there very boring kid films.

Here are the pics could not do it earlier I was at a christening.
I then ive noticed oil splatter on the rear door and spare wheel
had a look under and there is lots of clean oil all around the prop.
I think it the oil seal so I'll look in the morning I remember buying some oil seals when
I bought the rear hub.

Nope not the axles it's the rear ace pipe on the join between solid and flex are they fixed or repairable
ive had a quick search but im on nights this week so will try to fix then.
I think it's time I top oils ect at the same time.
I've found another job to add to the list its got a fair bit rusty from last year so I think it's time to paint the chassis then wax oil ect.
