Dear All
I havent been on here for some time now as all seems well with the old girl and my 1st P5b is going to be the last car I ever buy. But guys, im getting a radio/cd player that with fit nice in the glove box for xmas and was just woundering if you in your all knowing wisdom, where is the best place to take the + feed from? Im puting two very small speakers under the dash (unseen) My car has never had a radio, also is it a big job fitting a roof aerial where there never was one to start with, thanks guys.
Joe
p.s Happy new year guys and safe P5b(ing)

Use Search set for 500 days for the Aerial fitting tips and there is already a radio pick up under the dash for the Accessory position of the Ignition switch its in abunch of bullet connectors Browm/purple I think but one leads to the thief proof key start.If switch if it is on the console just identify the accessory terminal - there should already be a lead there as well

Eiither way fit a line fuse and all the suppressors on coil, alternator heater blower and wiper. You may need to renew the ignition leads as well but they will probably overdue.

Welcome back

Hi Me again (sorry guys)
When fitting a new aerial (where there never was one before) Just how bacK should the hole be made?

You have not stated whether its a Coupe or a Saloon. The minimum distance from the top of the screen trim on the outside of the roof is 1.5" and 3.5" respectively. The minimum difference is crucial as it has to clear the double skin.

Some you will see have erred excessively and almost fitted it in the centre of the roof!.

Its safer to remove te headliner and drill from the inside unless you use a very good drill depth stop
