My new double din head unit arrived ,I thought it would be a straight swap, but alas its not to be.
Lucky my son is an auto elec, so he can wire it up for me, It has a lead for an iPOD do you have this poking out
from under the dash somewhere thats convenient,.,
The last unit only had SD card music and TV left working everything else quit.
Bluetooth, GPS, AM/FM,CD/DVD all failed
Brand name or ebay special?Quote:

Unless your son can wire it to a usb plug and then have the plug mounted on the dash somewhere..
The old girl got new injectors and a service on the weekend. She had more grunt and runs a lot better now. The old injectors were still the originals and were clogged up. Clearly the previous owners did a fantastic job looking after the old girl. Oh well once I get a few more things done, she'll hopefully be in excellent condition and ready for some off road fun.
Check out my thread in my link to see how bad the injectors were.
took it in for a wheel alignment, now they say i need and offset wheel bearing kit installed as it pulls left :(

This is something that I've also been thinking about for a while. So I started researching van, and family bunk vans with ensuites gross in at around 2.4-2.6T give or take. It was then that I discovered my beloved CRD auto was only good for 2.5T. Bummer, this could really limit our choice of vans, plus I hate with a passion running things to maximum capacity. So I needed a bigger towing capacity.
Given that the Patrol still ticks all the other boxes, I stuck with it. It also meant that I cound transfer all my mods over and continue on. Plus they sound good with a 3" exhaust :-)
Stripped my pot winch down. The drum had frozen onto the shaft, so I made a puller up and got to work. Man it made a ........ big bang when it finally let go. Greased it up put it all back together and it works like new again
