Fix the sender ? The link to Amazon shows some fire extinguishers. Can anybody recommend one which has a mounting and can sit somewhere sensible ?

Will any competent auto leccy person do a refurb ? I've still got my old one.

Is that Thursday 13th ?

Welcome : We've all got half decent ones ..... it's the other half that's the problem And don't believe everything you read in here : it is definitely not a village chock full of idiots....some of them are just a bit not right. TAKdriver ( Order of the Ashtray Lid)

I've got an old one that got a soaking. You can have it for the postage if you want to play with it.

I'll settle for the Order of the Ashtray Lid. but I'll still be the same humble guy......

I expect she'll be impressed and if you should get lucky just remember who gave you the information. Pity I'm too late for the New Year's Honours list.

I have discovered how the spring loaded ashtray stays shut and opens when you press it. THUS...the ashtray lid sits on a little axle : at one end of the axle is a spring : at the other end of the axle is a cog. The ashtray lid itself has a plastic cam at each end : when the ashtray lid is...

I've just gone through that problem except in semi darkness I reversed the polarity trying a different battery : burned out the loom and....I assumed....screwed up the alternator. When the local indy fitted a new loom and 2nd had alternator ( from Emmot's) the garage said the alternator might be...

Thanks Paul : I got your response at the other thread I had opened on the ashtray lid : both together makes sense and I'll certainly have a look at your suggested location. I had reservations about it in the glove box because of being out of sight and an obvious possible fire hazard > your...

I don't think mine has that facility but it sounds useful. I'll check out the spec of my camera before I do anything drastic. Thanks

Agreed ! I've checked Rave and this would make perfect sense. All I'm figuring out now is precisely where to locate the sockets. Inside the glove box would be the obvious provided I can get a suitable hard fix. Happy to hear any other suggestions.

For the dummies like me the attached link makes for easier removal of the gear lever surround trim and panel. http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/sidepanel.html

Sorry to be dim : I misunderstood your first reply : I now see it and have identified the section in Rave : thanks for your help.

Where did you position them under the dash ? Any pics ?

I don't want a permanent live : live with ignition on is enough for purpose.

Thanks for that : how does the surround come out ? I didn't want to apply too much force in case I broke the whole unit. Is it a push fit ?

I want to wire in a dash cam on a dedicated permanent cigar lighter plug. I have a bank of cigar lighter plugs which I could put in the glove box. I am no spark and taking a connection from the existing cigar lighter plug doesn't look like an option due to the limited access ( unless it pushes...

A tenner sounds fair : want me to send you a cheque ? I've got a Paypal account if that would work. I know Dalry well. I used to get the Dalry bus home to Howwood where I was brought up. Like yourself, Edinburgh Uni and never got round to going home. Let me know what you want me to do. Thanks.
