A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 10 I threaded the wiring behind the big grey connector through to the front area, left of the gearbox selector and to the left of the left locating slats for the plastic tray at the front end of the console. Remember I tapped into the driver’s side power socket using the headrest sc reens conn ector but you can use snaplocks instead: (my use of the power connector in the front right socket,...

A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 11 It is almost certain one or more of the metal retaining clips will spring off, hopefully somewhere you can retrieve them. If for some reason you cannot (and I would advise to have some spare if you tinker with the Disco anyway), the Land Rover part number for them is FYC500040. (this is where the clips should be, they’re on now) (this is the clip in question) You will then need to...

A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 13 Part II – Installing the Reversing Camera Tools required: cable stripper, crimping tool, pliers, set of torx screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver set, 10mm socket, electrical tape, heatshrinking tube and about 2 hours for this part. It is always good if a multimeter is to hand, at least for continuity testing. Parts required: 5m twin 2mm cable (for extending the ca mera’s and GVIF power cable),...

You need about 130cm of extension: By using thicker cable you also increase the diameter used by the snaplock we’ll use to tap into the reversing light +ve. If you go this route, it is advisable to ch eck your conne ctions by doing a continuity test: put one end of...

Next remove the upper trim panel of the tailgate by again gently prising the 4 clips that hold it in place: (panel revoved, clips shown and space underneath) Last, remove the left side trim panel once again held in place by 4 clips (no need to remove the right hand side one): (panel revoved, clips shown and...

To remove the bulb holder, twist counterclockwise holding the...

A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 17 Take one end of either cable (the procedure is the same for both broadly), and pull about 15 ‐20cm out to where the handle will be refitted. Then go to the top of the tailgate and unhook the rubber grommets at the end of the tube from both the top of the tail gate and the bodywork to give you some more room to work. I also found it us eful to disconnect the black and grey connectors...

A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 18 Happy it all worked, some tidying of the cables is now in order, so go back to the tailgate, make sure the cables at the handle are all clear of the bodywork (I used a cable tie to secure a length including the heatshrunk connectors inside the handle), and refit the han dle f ully (4 torx and 3 10mm bolts). Now route the two (video and power) cables to the lower left corner of the window,...

A www.disco3.co.uk resource Page 19 It’s now time to thread the remaining cabling through to under the passenger seat. Start by feeding the cables through the headlining to the left and pull out through the opening you made by pulling the weatherstrip off the D ‐pillar; then pull out the boot trim, enough to allow your hand through (o ne cli p should pop) and feed through there, pulling all the excess out through the rear left...
