You are probably right! Funny though (and a real schoolboy error) thought I'd give it a go.. so in the car park, on a solid surface, drove forward, turned and drove forward again. Stopped, disengaged and the light remained on.... re-engaged, disengaged etc, ignition on, off, on, off...

Good plan. Wondering if the various leaks have helped free it.......!

Bored, sat in car park, fiddling with H/L lever, thought I'd just try the CDL again (tried before... no movement) then a little shove, movement to the left, chimes and a light on the dash..... it has a CDL after all.....now just need an excuse to use it!

The leaking fixed with sealant between frame and body... stains on headlining not fixable. Sagging not tolerable when you are 6ft 6"" and only just fit in! Guess colour selection is a personal preference... black less "rank" than stained saggy original. Ran without any fabric on for a...

@blackstrat - agreed - see my ultimate tip above!!!

@Feathers McGraw here you go

Sorry @neilly - that was a bit harsh...

I'm in first with "that will polish out...."

You're welcome... good luck with it!

I've got that definite "out of my depth" feeling when looking at that D3 attachment!

Also, ultimate tip (for when you find yourself with more fabric stuck to you than the roof lining, and what is stuck on the roof looks like a ploughed field) Ensure you have been to B&Q and got a 2.5lt tin of colour matched vinyl matt to the same colour as your fabric.....

Mine was from Martrim http://www.martrim.co.uk/catalogue/landrover-headlining-kit.html. I went for the black seude, material came on a roll (just wide enough as the roof is big at it's widest part by the rear doors) along with 3 tins of spray adhesive. I'd get some samples sent, these arrived...

@berg450 If it came as part of a kit, I'm sure it will stay.... Think the original fails due to the foam backing degrading rather than adhesive failure..... Yours looks good! Got the last bits of trim back on mine now, so all done.

@gstuart yours looks a lot more complex! The Becker in mine was available as a Becker branded unit as aftermarket, so it's pretty standard wiring config for retro fit. It was also OEM on Ferrari and Porsche.. quite funny really that those with "Ferrari" inked on the front and that say...

I think the key for me was getting some way of obtaining a retrospective fix of an Aux-in on the factory unit. Once you have that, the world is your lobster. There is a company that takes the Hi-Line D2 unit (non satnav) and solders in the components for Aux-in, but there was not a fix for...

Looks like it has a GPS antenna as part of the kit, on the Becker, the head unit takes a feed from the reverse light/gearbox to refine the positioning, along with a take-off from the speedometer. There is a test mode that confirms these functions. I guess on the more modern units, it's more...

Another option I looked at in addition to the Parrot and my fix, was a Pure 600 DAB receiver, which also allowed bluetooth streaming and seemed ok, but I walked away from that as there were extra antenna for the DAB signal that attached to the windscreen, trailing leads between that and a...

Yes, think that may be a slight issue for me too, but the ability to play my iPhone music through a great sound system makes up for it in my mind.

Felt and battens first.....
