Running cables from cab to engine bay

Excuse the stupid question again, this is so much easier on a series... What are the easiest routes to pass cables from the cab through to the engine bay without significant modifications? I tried running a cable through the washer pipe holes behind the speaker pod to no avail. Couldn't get anything through and I was worried about holing the pipes. Any other good ways through?

Thanks. 1999 Td5 110 CSW

On mine there were some "spare" points which I cut to let the new cables thru.

a wire coathanger helps with routing.

You can just about (on a Puma) get your hand there from the inside above the brake/clutch pedals...

Chop off an unused "slot" (as circled) and use that - seems best way... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
