Creating this guide has taken a lot of effort and work to complete. I hope it will help aid a lot of people in having confidence to remove their standard LR radio's to upgrade. (If they so choose) Along with a valuable insight into removing the centre dash. No doubt some people may have other way's of doing it but this worked well for me and is 100% damage free. It would also be ideal if you are intending to have a CSK (forum sponsor) custom painted centre dash done as you will need to remove your centre dash. This is why I have included removal of the clock also. There are also a couple of pictures there purely for reference only i.e. location of electric windows plugs and so on.

Happy Christmas. Laughing

Chris - Think about it it's just the reverse of my guide. Rolling with laughter Whistle Rolling with laughter

Lish - Thank-you. Thumbs Up Only slight annoyance is there is the odd letter missing on a couple of words but other than that done my best for accuracy. Smile


Also got another guide for the centre dash lighting to come soon as well. I shall put that in a separate thread. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Well done Steve - great instructions. Please can somebody do a Td5 one now?! Still haven't fitted my new HU because I'm going to have to remove the dash and I'm a bit dubious about doing so. Workshop manuals are good, but it's a lot better to actually see a picture of all the bits so you know what to expect. I'm sure this will be very useful for a lot of Puma owners in the future Steve!

I hope so. If I had access to a TD5 and the time to investigate it all properly I would. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Nothing wrong with throwing ideas into the pot and see what the chief cook makes of it.

So my suggestion is a technical library but no chit chat such as this.
