There's lots of info on google if this isn't quite right.

I did mine recently was fairly easy.

Is it not plug and play ? i bought mine from the main dealers and it had a grey multi plug socket that just plugged in to a corresponding socket behind the plastic wheel arch liner behind the o/s rear wheel. 2005 Td5 90 XS

It has the part to plug in to the landrover but its not wired to the socket to which you put the plug in. I bought it from Swansea 4x4 so don't know if it is pattern etc. doesn't say whether it is or not a genuine and no instructions either

I did this yonks ago and noted it down somewhere/ Will try to look it out but will be tomorrow. You'd think they'd be standardised.

Ah, sorry I can't help you as my car is 03 90 and the vehicle wiring colouring will be different between mine and yours. I did do this on my ex RAF 90 years ago but again the wiring colouring would be even more different. Sorry.
