Thanks, that would help a lot.

So does the dash need to be removed in order to remove the center console? I'm thinking of replacing my Icom IC440 with an 80ch unit. I'm pretty sure the Icom is currently mounted under the console as the lead for the mike plug comes out from under there.

You have to remove the lower section where the 4WD Selector is and the side silver panels and the other side panels from memory. Without the car in front of me I'm not 100% but I'll be pulling it apart this weekend so can take some photos.

I had the dash pulled apart and from memory the top of the centre console just has clips that hold it down. I removed the gear knob and I applied pressure up and popped the top off to gain access to the space.

Not sure what discount is offered Paul but Derek mentioned it in a recent thread... http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post394063

Back washed 3" of water out of the pool yesterday and its overflowing again!!! yep, I'm over it too....
Thanks, I'll have a look at ABR first and see if Derek's got em, if not EBay. Is the cable secured by 1 or 2 screws on the breakers?

Edit: Derek has them. and I can now see how the cable is fastened with the single grub screw (have to remember to ask for the PP discount!)

When our pool overflows it goes into a channel and out through the drainage pipe where the backwash goes. That way I don't have to backwash until the rain is over and I just need to get the levels right.

And yes one grub screw tightened by an allen key. What discount does he offer for PP. I have mentioned that before when I have ordered a fair bit of stuff for work and got no discount.

Nice one Brains. Where did you get these breakers from?

I think I got these from eBay or ABR Sidewinder.
How's the rain, I'm over it.

Okay still on the Dual Battery Install under the bonnet I used manual circuit breakers for the runs to the rear internal distribution (40A breaker) and rear external Anderson plug (60A breaker). This way I am able to push the button on the breaker and cut the feed to the external Anderson when I'm not using it. I can also cut the feed to the rear distribution if required. Most times I only have the rear external Anderson plug disabled.

Two Breakers switched on


60A Breaker switched off

Paul two really dumb questions coming up. What's the green icon above the hazard switch and does the bottom radio now do nothing? If the hole is single DIN is this a place to mount a UHF radio? Yes I haven't been through ALL the 150 series posts yet ok.

All good, if you want to come over and have a closer look at anything just give us a yell.

Like it was mentioned the hazard and reverse sensor indication lamps are normally positioned on the right side but on the replacement head unit the hole is on the left, I'm trying to source a LHD switch at the moment like some others have.

The replacement unit is a two unit system with the lower unit a DVD player plus the select buttons for the different function. The upper unit is the screen.

There's a fair bit of info under the replacement head unit thread with instructions for install.

That rear door touch light is excellent, thanks for posting Brains, another add-on for me to do.

Cheers Derek

Thanks Derek, I'd love to take the credit but I'm the sort of person that likes credit to go to the right person and that person in this case is Richosen. He's the one that put me onto it and even organised the light for me!

The only thing different I have done to mine is bend it to match the profile of the door trim.

[QUOTE=Bear63;392006]My reverse sensor indicator is on the drivers side, they must have changed them

Bear I think you'll find it's an aftermarket surround to suit the larger screen. The aftermarket surrounds are imported so they are designed to suit a left hand drive.

Brains great build, must order a set of the Wet seat covers, they look so neat. And as for the screen so much bigger than the factory one, love the idea of the front camera, would be very handy on a few tracks.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply about the extinguishers mjrandom

Green car is reverse sensor indicator, shows little red? lines as you get closer to object. (not sure why it's green, unless the car is in reverse while parked?)
