Haha, I'm not sure being towed at that speed would be a good idea

There isn't much to photo and I had to go to work after
The switch replaced the one blank one on the binnacle, right side bottom edge.. I routed it as Grafty said.. out of the battery box, along the chassis leg and up the bulkhead.. across to the drivers side and in through the grommet at the back of the binnacle... I managed to not take the dash top off and fed the positive up the side behind the heater controls.. the earth on the other side I have fixed to the bolt holding the door stay to the bulkhead... I haven't made any connections yet and I need to find an ignition live somewhere round the dash... I have booked the screen to come on Thursday, this I bought off Ebay £180 inc fitting at home 1993 200Tdi Defender 90 |

Cheers Procta.. I will have a poke about..
here is the switch.. Only snag is the instructions say two green to outside pins and yellow to the middle.. whereas the colours are reversed on mine.. I have emailed MC to clarify..  Click image to enlarge 1993 200Tdi Defender 90 |

Yeah it may just be caught up on somthing. Too sharp a bend can slow it down and cause needle wobble

whilst I was making the ignition live connection to the heated windscreen loom I added a couple of extra bits..
LED lighting in the footwell and a voltmeter, both controlled by a switch.. I used existing spare feeds in the dash with the old style bullet connectors.
