    Ok got the hole in the door done ... now where did you run the wire from inside the car ... from what I can see .. once I drill the hole in the panel below the door light switch, I can not see where I can trace the wire out of that cavity


    Hmmm much fun this landrover thing

    Take the metal strip off that the door light switch comes through. That will then enable you to remove the kick panel - the large flat piece that is alongside your right ankle when you're driving. You should then be able to get the wire down from the opening revealed at the very top of that section. You'll probably need to use some stiff wire poked in through the hole you just drilled and use it as a hook to attached the wires to and pull them back through. Phew!!

    Hmmm, I looked at that, I think on the td5 its welded / glued on, there is no screws along the part beside my right foot .... I will have another look when I get time!

    Thanks for your help!

    Just had another look, yeap defiantly unable to do that, they must have changed it a tad in the td5 .... the pannel next to my right ankle is glued, never to come off ... time to poke around and see what else can be done...

    bugga.

    Sigh,... what a bitch of a job.

    Ok ... well I have done ONE door (Drivers) got it working, and it has taken me about 12 hours to do, get it wired up, and cleaned up...

    Let me say, I have installed ALOT of car stereos in my life, evening worked at at 2 installers for a few years when I was 15-16, I say around 400 or so, about 40+ alarms / central locking into all kinds of cars / vans / trucks..

    AND...

    The Landrover, TD5 110 / 2001 Defender is THE worse car I have ever, EVER done an install on... EVER

    I have made jigs to make frames for the mounts so I can make many of them, I am cleaning up the wiring and making the lights flash and interior turning on when I unlock etc, but having to make from scratch the rubber covers, etc etc

    If I had no drilled holes, riveted plates, and marked the actual unit, I would have given up..

    So, unless you have alot of experience, alot of tools and ALOT of time, if you are contemplating this.... either get someone else to do it, or spend a good weekend doing it .... its NOT an easy job to get looking / working right..
