I can't get you a photo as SWMBO has the D3 today, but I can e-mail you the LR instructions from GTR if you PM me your e-mail address LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

hey mr H.

thanks for that, have managed to get around the back, have got the instructions and they looked like it was supposed to go round the back, so that's the way i've gone, god know's how you are supposed to get the clips ion place to hold the cables there though..

rain has stopped play for the moment..

thanks again

Went behind ( to rear of D3) along bumper steel. Couldn't fit clips so used cable ties to make sure loom stays out of the way of the dogs dangly bits.

You need a Malaysian child slave in your toolbox. Same one you need for fitting a Safari snorkel to a Defender. No tool box is complete without one. Thumbs Up

I used a pronged weed grubber to push the clips home on the bumper bar, but failing that you should be able to get a couple of long zip-ties around the bumper to secure things. Worth doing, as it has been know for the cable to shift and foul the weights, and that really screws the ride. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
