    Alpine head unit(s), but no sound...HELP!

    LTLF, Behind the subwoofer and CD player is more trim. The amp is behind that. There should be two chunky connectors that connect to it (or dangling waiting for you!). I got a replacement DSP amp for £270 delivered from DK Salvage of Peterborough. You could also try Emmotts (they sponsor this...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Today, I fitted my tow bar. I did it without having to take the mud flaps off or the wheels, just having to unscrew the bottom bit of wheel arch trim from the chassis. Undid the two main bumper bolts, a small tap here and there, a couple of little tugs, and hey presto, off it popped. And then...

    Darth, I started a thread on which/what tow bar and fittings I needed. The thread was called "what towing electrics do I need?" I got a complete swan neck tow bar.

    Which Towing Electrics Would I Need?

    Further to last nights posting, today i have checked with my local stealer and they don't sell the bits, just the complete unit at £130 odd quid. However, a little searching of the internet and I have found the exact connector. They are a type called "070 Multilock" and I got them from a...

    Which Towing Electrics Would I Need?

    OK All, I need a bit more help. I managed to get a complete swan neck towbar and 12N socket from a breakers. Looking at the wiring it seems that with the last car it was installed on, instead of purchasing the correct connector (RAVE - connector no 1376 - 8 PIN), they had spliced into the...

    Diary of a first time Range Rover owner

    The going rate for a secondhand DSP amp is about £250-£300. Try Emmotts of Colne (forum sponsor) If your system is like mine the head unit goes to the DSP amp in the boot which in turn feeds all the speakers and subwooffer.

    Diary of a first time Range Rover owner

    Speedy, You will find the DSP amp behind the sub woofer and then the trim in the boot (passenger side). I looked at taking my guards off, but couldn't be bothered to go through the effort to fill the holes left, so put them back on. I can see your light guard on the front passenger side has...

    Alpine 6CD Changer Fault

    The Head unit says "CD Check" or something like that, then comes up with "No DISC" Would that still mean the reader or could that be the mechanism is not sensing discs?

    6.3 chevy-engined monster

    Griffman, If you blast it down the Smallfield Road (towards the M23 bridge from the Kings Head) I'll more than likely hear you! Thinking of it, I might even hear from further away!!!:eek:

    Which Towing Electrics Would I Need?

    So, Am I assuming correctly that the "N" is for basic towing of trailers and goes to the right side of the boot? Cheers

    Which Towing Electrics Would I Need?

    Datatek, What does the "n" and "S" refer to? And does the "right hand Trim" you mention refer to the "Drivers side" on a RHD? Cheers

    Which Towing Electrics Would I Need?

    I am thinking of adding a tow bar and electrics to my current Rangey (see signature for model, year etc). Is there a particular version of electrics specific to my model? Cheers
