    I had to change the main wiring loom as my car didn't have the wiring for the gearbox ecu etc......


    With help from Urban Panzer and friends a LOT of the car then came apart!








    And then the interior!



    and then the heater box!





    all out......



    now time to put this one in......

    I really like those alloys on your vehicle Monkiefone, whats the name/ style of them I assume they are LR originals?

    Hi there. why did you do the swap? I have to make a decision right now whether to buy manual or auto and am leaning towards manual. Am interested in your thoughts on this topic. Thanks
