Ah, thanks. If GDL has an Auto that may explain why its empty for him.

Sounds like it might be harder than I thought to get cable through bulkhead then!

Thats ok, it means I am not going insane and seeing things Wink

If it was easy, where would the fun be!

There must be other grommits... somewhere...

Main looms

The main looms are a real ***** to work with!

I was hoping to slip the IBS wires in through the main loom:


There is one behind the fusebox next to the main battery, and one matching the other side. But they are taped up, and inside have been sealed with goop (they are not going to to leak if you stall while fording thats for sure!).

The problem I have is that my manual has this clutch hose in it:


Is anyone aware of any other grommits? Or do I need to just take the risk of loosing waterproofing and use the main grommits, or try and squeeze them through with the clutch hose?

[Yup the Total Full Charge dual battery set up is great and a darn site cheaper and simpler. Thumbs Up
 LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Ah, but even if I had a Totally Flippin Cool installation, the power from the second battery still needs to go through the bulkhead, unless I charge my phone and mount the CB in the engine bay!?!

The challenge I have is that being a weirdo with a manualtransminssion Disco, I have an extra pipe where everyone else sticks their aux cables it seems!

TFC - Expect a begging PM soon on info for empty grommet locations!

TFC has sorted me out - nah! nah! nah! (Apparently, he wasn't interested in a trip to Oz. Shocked )

However, I'll go to my grave before I'll reveal his secret. Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil

Thanks TFC.

There seems to be a lot of "nah nah nah" going around lately!

Mr TFC has also kindly replied to my PM cry for help, I am technically a customer as I did buy the battery from him as part of the group buy of course!

All I need now is for the rain to stop and I am sorted... oh and to find the short bolt I am missing that RicheP may have still...
