    Getting cables from engine bay to interior

    OK, so I've got the new Disco. Now to install the Two-way, phone antenna, fridge power etc. Open the bonnet....Holy sh*t, how does one get the cables through the firewall, into the cabin?

    Ours is the TDV6 and a cigarette paper would struggle to find a gap anywhere under the bonnet.

    Does anyone know where the grommets are and how to locate them?

    Help!!!

    I guess it's very different from a D2 - but I'll make the suggestion anyway - just in case.

    On the D2 there is a large grommet under and to the right of the brake servo unit, which runs into the cabin behind the fuse panel on the drivers side.

    Just a suggestion as it may be very different on a D3

    I can only imagine what a D3 must be like, D2 was that much worse than D1 so I'm sure they have only made it worse.

    If you can get to one of the main glands in the firewall get a very long thin something (like a cable tie or 120lb nylon fishing trace) and then tape the end of you wire to it and try threading that through. next trick is to locate the little sucker under the dash and then see if you can ease the wire through.
