A tip for those struggling to remove the plastic cover on the fuse box end.
Undo the 3x 10mm bolts holding the section of the fuse box that has the offending plastic cover attached. Lift the fuse box you just removed slightly to improve access to the cover Get a zip tie and use the thin end to poke into the cover's clip while gently pulling the cover outwards towards the door. You'll feel the cover loosen, hold it gently in place and then do the same for the other clip. Slide off the cover If you find the end of the zip tie isn't rigid enough to move the plastic 'lock' in the cover; cut it in half - the end of zip ties tends to be tapered and hence more flexible. 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2 |

A week to late fella
 ..great advice  ...i just thought even landrover would not have another clip on the underside of the cover where you needed to be a borrower to get access to it.......stupid me!
I have tried nearly everywhere to find a replacement cover but i think they only come with the loom at 130 notes and even my OCD is quashed at that price......even dan on here let me down!I think i will use a battery terminal cover to protect the live feed .and never look at it again  |

So I finally got around to doing this !!!
Thanks for the tips, I had heated seat cables to move out the way & I also had that fiddly 2.2 cover to remove, so the advice here made my job so much easier. I had a self inflicted issue which I thought I'd mention for anyone else doing this. When I was reconnecting the negative cable to the battery I managed to set the bbus off. I wasn't too worried about that & I was actually pleased to know that it worked. However after everything was back together I realised that my console display wasn't working - the fuel gauge, revs, speedo, etc were all blank!!! OMG what had I done ?!!
It took me a while to figure out that I needed to turn the key to position II then turn the key back & remove it & disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal within 17 seconds again! After that when I reconnected the cable to the negative battery terminal again (carefully without setting off the bbus) everything was all fine & working again. Phew! 
I used the kit from LRD Security which I'd definitely highly recommend. |
