Hi
I'm new to range rovers but loving it so far I don't know how I've managed this long without one.
But I do have a problem I need some advice on, only the speakers at the bottom of the doors are working but none of the higher ones give any sound so it all sounds very low. The sat nav doesn't power up and as been disconnected for repair\replace will that have anything to do with it?
As anyone else had a similar problem
any advice welcome

Thanks

Look for water ingress and corroded connectors in the rear nearside quarter where the satnav is. Common problem area.
Go and introduce yourself in the intro section before the diehards jump on you

Look very carefully at the pins on the connectors, sometimes they corrode off completely and as they are so small it can be easy to miss one.

Just had a look, there is signs of water damage but only a small amount all the connectors are still there but dull with a bit of green corrosion in places. I will try and buy a small wire brush or something of the weekend or is it a case of replacing it now its been wet
Thanks

The Ninety is back together after a head rebuild and belt change (see here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/200tdi-timing-belt-change-cylinder-head-refresh-how-282586.html ) and is - touch wood - running like a swiss clock, quiet(er) and much smoother....

Contact cleaner NOT WD40, I use Aeroclean 50, plus either a toothbrush or you can get proper electrical cleaning brushes. You need to get rid of every trace of green corrosion on both sides of both connectors. You also need to fix the leak or you are wasting your time.
