Please check out the wiring kit below , I brought from ebay . I paid £54 delivered. How easy would you guys say it is to fit? And has any one fitted one and taken step by step pictures of before/after???
i KNOW i should have consulted the GODs of RRS before purchasing BUT I thought at £54 delivered I was getting a real bargain...

thanks for looking guys (& GODs).

Reports are that it's is very very easy to fit 1/2 hour job. The only tricky bit is getting around the weights at the back. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

The OEM one is easy to fit - this looks similar (but half of the LR kit) and it claims to provide destructions with it....

Looks OK from install point of view - tricky bit for me was removing the NSR light cluster as it locks well into the rubber plugs on the body panel....

Okay,

And when its not in use , will the electrics be totally concealed?

Should be as it looks like the OEM solution. They mount under the cover above the towbar socket (centre rear). A 50p piece will fit the two screws, turn through 90 degrees and lower towards you to remove, that will reveal the mounting point for your electrics.

The LR kit took me just over an hour to fit
If I hadnt done it at dusk it would have taken less time

Issues:

1) Put the car in off road mode to give yourself more space

2) The light cluster is a to get off

3) The interior trim needs a more brutal approach to remove than feels right

4) Drop the spare to the ground

5) Try and stash the connectors somewhere safe when its all done - the LR instructions seem to suggest just letting them dangle inside the trim of the rear valance/bumper which didnt seem that elegant to me

6) Marvel at how one of the plastic lugs holding the electric cover panel breaks with your 50p piece despite minimal effort, then test your patience on the phone to the dealer you recently bought your 60k (RRP) motor from as the guy in parts insists initially you pay the full list price of 35 whole English pence for a replacement !!!!! In his own words not all of the parts on my car are covered by the warranty - which is nice

Its a doddle - go for it

Interesting!!

I tried to talk to Steve or James (who sold me the car) but both were busy

Switchboard had a bloke from parts call me back who told me I had to pay for the bits
(At 35p each admittedly)

If these bits are known to fail Im even more off at being asked to pay for them

Lol broke one of mine too

I had just bought the car from them

I thought it comes complete with "Detailed Picture Instructions" and that there's also "Freephone Fitting Helpline"! Malaysia Boleh!
