| No nails cable ties and sticky back plastic will work wonders. Run it straight from the fuse box off an ignition live. be careul what you plumb into make sure its a 12v feed and not a 5v one. | |

| If you look on defender2.net there's loads of advice in stripping and modding puma dashboards (former owner of an 07 90) | |

| Thanks guys, but as its not quite 2 years old yet, I would rather not use sledge hammer to crack a nut (wife tried that on me and it didn't work, I'm still nuts ) I will try and follow the more sensible line of looking on defender2.net and the gentle use of a screw driver, and a hexhead thingy whats it and undo everything in sight until it falls apart. Can't be that difficult on a green oval thingy called a | |

Shouldn't take much for it to fall apart!!!!!!
Nick, I recommend the scaffold tube Always ready for deployment, along with the 14lb hammer and a BIG lever bar. If it moves and it shouldn't .............. gaffa tape If it doesn't move and it should .......... BIG hammer | |

| Thanks Nick, very helpful. First things first, get the winch wired up, then the split charger, and then the sat nav without a big hammer (hopefully), then CB. See got it all worked out | |
