LOL yes now that could be it - as you say, pure genius !

No they don't - I disconnected it ages ago - just in case ... :)

LOL thanks, I have posted it on that site so we will see what happens, if I find out I will post it here.

That's a great idea - i never knew about this site, I will give it a try, thanks.

Yes those boxes are as they appear, folded up then resin added, the whole thing seems crude, but is fairly professional, maybe knocked up specially and not mass produced. Its a 1992 RRC vogue. I have to admit a lack of oversight on my part, in that I have forgotten where the cable went - I...

Thank you very much for the concise information, I think what you say makes a lot of sense, particularly if there is no gps hardware. It did/does have an elaborate anti-theft system ( including 4 different disabling devices in the electrics and fuel systems) so I suppose it could be an extension...

Thanks, its a good thought and one to consider, I will post here any more info I find, I am now wondering what other 'devices' are hidden away in the murky depths of my range rover!

I cant see any markings at all, my next step is to remove the circuit board and check under it (yes i know I should have done that already ;)) The boxes are made of aluminium and there doesn't appear to be any reed or tilt switches, but they are sealed in epoxy so its hard to say.

It was powered up when I discovered it, although nothing appeared to be happening. I also noted that the power connector is 7 pin din type socket, with 8 connections ( including earth). Its possible that some kind serial input or output was taking place through these other wires to a piece of...

Thank you, I really appreciate the help and suggestions from everyone (even the flux capacitor - ahh if only ...) The numbers are: MC146805E2CP PGM-12.5v (B9230) MP7628AD AD0809CCN MP7628AD PC74HCT138P PC74HCT00P PC74HCT373P PC74HCT32P CD74HCT02E 4116R-001 appreciate any help...

Yes I did google the chips inside, the big one is a general purpose multi application microprosessor, the other are a-d converters and generic logic devices. Some kind of tracker was my first thought, but its hard to say if the little boxes are receiving data from the vehicle - or sending it...

I think that sounds the most likely, some kind of experimental vehicle is probably correct, it looks a bit elaborate and excessive for anything else. The lack of marking could be a sign also that its MOD. It also had an elaborate alarm system fitted with sensors all over the place, but that...

Yes that is one possibility, but I have doubts as there are 8 and scattered all over the place, I just recalled that at least 1 was in the roof lining, I traced one of the wires and found a 'box' there!! Its a bit overkill for that or anything really, I had an expensive tracking system on my...

There are no markings other than 'power' and 1-8 on the sockets, there is a serial number only (10664). Yes its a good thought, but I was told the last owner was an accountant, however it may have been there prior to his owning it. I am trying to dig further, Its possible it could be ex mod or...

LOL lucky I stick to the speed limit then !

please see attached pictures: the lighter is there to give an idea of the size.

Picture of 'sensor' the wire is actually a cable, there appears to be 4 wire connections. I included the lighter to give an idea of size.

they are small metal boxes a little bigger than matchboxes, with a single wire coming from them, I will try to upload a picture

well there wasn't any white powder under the carpet, the windows aren't tinted and it doesn't have a gun rack fitted ... pity as I could have used the drugs to cover the welding costs :)

fraid not Ratty, thanks for the idea though - these sensors are nothing to do with parking as they look rf-ish and under the carpets. I assumed some kind of GPS but why 8 !!
