Thread: 98 disco radio removal

It was a while ago I did mine, but I think this is what I did:

Grab a coathanger (metal one) and cut it into a couple of say 20cm lengths of metal.

Bend each piece of metal to make a U shape, and insert each end of the metal into the little rounds holes at the sides of the Land Rover head unit, 4 holes in total.

Push the metal into the holes until they go no further, and shimmy and pull the unit out.

Gee, I hope I didn't just make that all up.

What he said.....

Thanks guys but my head unit doesn't have the 4 holes you are talking about .

are there 4 little plastic/rubber plugs blocking the holes? if so, they just lever out.

if not, perhaps it isnt the standard stereo in there?

Hmm...can't remember...is there a face plate you have to remove to get to the holes?

I'll try and check it out later for you.

Do you have the standard Land Rover tape deck in the dash?

Does it have a slot on each side near the edge?

Just looked and it has the 2 slots .1 on either side as Mahn has stated .

Like mine then.

You will need two pieces of steel to insert into the slots to release the locking tabs. I had some bits hanging around that did the job. Try hacksaw blades for size

You then rock the set side to side to work it out keeping the steel in while you do it.

Hope this works for you Mick
