Busy weekend ?

For those of you who might be called upon to help repair the heater assembly in a 200tdi discovery, first of all decline politely, and, assuming that doesn't work, tell them to stick it in their ear...

Quite how LandRover got *so* worried about the heater falling out that they built a car around it is anyones guess :?

Total time taken,  around 8 hours including rewiring the radio ...

Your not meant to do it yourself, Darren. Your supposed to take it to a main dealer and pay through the nose. It's called progress. :roll:

When Landrover designed the Discovery, they placed a heater matrix on the floor and said to the engineers .... build a car to fit that.  A lot of car manufacturers do the same but Renault do it with dashboard lights.

Could have been worse ... you could have been doing this! .....

Although, I am at least a little happy with how the radio fits now,  I'll be the envy of the 200 series owning world :)
