Thanks mate ......you are a rock !
I now feel totally confident to do this
..........as we discussed ...I have had a few " professionals ' do work for me lately at big dollars and when I look at the quality of the work and the lazy options of drilling holes all over my truck that could have been avoided with a bit of thought and effort it really ****es me off .........so I'm happy to persevere here and do it my self and properly ......and if I stuff it up ..at least I know where the stuff up is and can go back and fix it
Thanks again
The clock connector is in two parts, the terminal block and the cover -

The cable tie on the back of the cover is to hold the 3 x cables together where they exit from the back of the cover.
To dismantle the connector -
Cut the cable tie
Push the terminal block out of the cover, using a small screwdriver in the hole on the RH side of the cover.
Once the terminal block is released, use the small screwdriver to press down on the terminal's locking tab, which can now be accessed through the 'window' above each terminal cavity.
The permanent live wire on the clock is the Purple/Brown trace wire.
The clock's Purple/Brown wire is 0.5mm? - which is rated for 10A - it's fed from F30 (10A) in the dash fuse box.
F30 is the same fuse used for the permanent live on the factory installed radio head unit.
Does your vehicle not have the 2 x 8-way ISO connectors (Grey and Brown) for fitting a head unit?

Thanks for that ......a big help .....
I have no idea what or where these 2x8 way ISO connectors ....would be or where to look ......they may be there but where do I look and what am I looking for ........I have a 2015 defender .....so perhaps they are there .....I just need to know where to look
OK, from the 2013 Model Year onwards, Land Rover changed the 2 x 8-way ISO connectors for a proprietary connector, that looks like this -

The permanent live is in this connector on a Purple/Brown trace wire.
If you don't want to cut or splice into the Purple/Brown wire, there's an adaptor harness that plugs into this connector, available from Autoleads as part number PC2-117-4 -

Ok great .......I'll splice the radio red wire into the permanent purple/ brown
Wire ........and attach the radio black wire to some where that connects to the chassis ...........or is there a black wire on this connector that I could splice into too .........?
Yes, there's an earth in that connector, on a Black wire.
