Land Rover Defender Restoration/Rebuild Puma Part 6 Removing The Dashboard And Wiring Loom
Вставка

- Today i remove the dashboard and heater matrix to gain access to replace the interior wiring loom for the top spec loom.
On removal i find the 2 water leaks from the windscreen blocks and seal which i will investigate. I also remove everything from the bulkhead to install soundproofing.
Done this now probably half a dozen times. Got it down to around 30 mins to take out and an hour to put back (cos you can guarantee you have got wiring in the wrong place or forgot one of the connectors 😂😂😂)
Always photograph prior to dismantling
I salute your bravery. It looks a bloody nightmare. 👍🏻
Thank you. Its one of those jobs that if youve done 1 it would take half the time to do another
How the hell did you refit the heater unit it’s driving me mad
Persistance i think is the coreect word. Apsolute pain. Remove the rubber bung as it helps very slightly Put the top through the bulkhead and push up and forward till it goes in. I ise a prybar and a flat bit of wood so i dont break anything.
Have a look at my other video so you get an idea ua-cam.com/video/ye18sHsYNRk/v-deo.html

Love the video - really informative - I need to replace the wiper boxes and spindles on my Puma - how long did it take to remove the dashboard?
Thank you. I did a wiper switch today on a customers. I would say around 30-45 mins to get the dash out if youve not done one before.
Hi there - great video - i'm just replacing the window wiper mechanism and i have a white cable that doesnt seem to attach to anything -(Time on your video11:43) its from the top central part of the loom - do you know where it attaches??? many thanks in advance Ian
hi sorry for the late replay its the Antenna cable for your alarm system
@@lifes.projects that’s what I was hoping - all back together again now! Thanks for the reply - it’s put my mind to rest - lanoguard next 👍👍
@@iankilburn7318 no problem. I need to put another coat on mine too 👌
why did you have to replace the loom?
I fitted an XS so i have the genuine AC, Heated Seats, heated windscreen, and electric windows
how do you take the cover over the instrument panel off?
Remove the 2 torx screws and pull. They are just clipped in
@@lifes.projects at the top of the cover or only at the front?
@@itolond both. There is some clips where the clock is, 2 just below the radio and 2 at the bottom near the AC and heated seat switches
Actually you know it's easy if you pay attention I wish this guy was not mumbling the whole time it would have been a better video
This was one of my first youtube videos..... not been used to talking to cameras and nerves play a big part in that.
