Either up the A pillar, and along the edge of the headlining, or remove the door threshold trim and push under carpet.

you can lift the trim that goes along the doors (front and rear) be careful of the 'spring clips' as you may lose some, but there is a channel underneath it that can be easily used. Is it a large cable?
As you get to the rear seats, it will then just slip underneath the plastic and into the boot (Passenger side may have the air con system in the rear) but plenty of room for some cables. Bodsys Brake Bible

all good advice thanks - I had the freeview box running in the car yesterday afternoon and found signal was useless unless I plonked aerial on roof - I think I've going to sort out a clamp onto the very rear of the roof rail for it and feed coax back through the carSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
