That's where rover puts the cooler motor, check the pic of the fridge out you will see the cooler mounted to the front


Cut the hole in dash and mounted the factory off road light switch

Swapped the exhaust, 05 had damaged tail pipes

Pulled the battery to access the transfer case module that normally corrodes and goes bad, mine was not corroded inside so slathered dielectric grease in the plugs

Also unplugged everything else in there and greased the connections to prevent future corrosion problems

ok so we have been having an intermittant issue with all the dash lights coming on, suspension and transmission disabled, also lose speedo when this happens

happened 2 times in 2 weeks, if it sits overnight seems to clear itself

rover tech finily looked at it ( but there was no problem at the time unfortunatly)

he believes guessing from the codes that there is an issue with the abs module or the traction selector on the console, we need to wait for it to act up again so he can do further diagnosis whith the problem present

awsome to drive a rolling computer lol

Swapped in the heated second row seats, plug and play

You have to run the seat plug under the carpet, it is tucked up under the side plastic by the wheel arch , I did have to cut the carpet for the seats I was adding as they mounted different, but the holes were in the floor just covered

Sorry no how to pics, it is easy

Well think I figured out a few things, I swapped in the climate control with seat heater buttons, now seat heaters work? The seats have the heaters in them pre wired? Wtf

Also seems I have heated windscreen just needed the button? Wtf?

This is like stupid, stuff is there you had to buy the buttons??

Btw rear a/c is all pre wired I could add it but don't want to

Also the wires are in the ceiling for the auto dim rear view mirror, I could add it but the button on the glass is wrong and in the wrong spot

I have a feeling the auto headlight switch would also work, I threw it in and it lights the green fog light icon cause again pre wired lol. Was not dark enough to have them come on, guess that's how it works

Hey Tom - Did I hear (read) correctly, the front seats are pre-wire and have the seat warmers already in them? I have an 06 and I asked the question about adding warmers and no one knew. So if I understand you correctly, I can just add the climate control that has the seat warmer buttons? No computers to update?
