Not even the drivers door loom has an extra socket. I am off to the wreckers tomorrow to look at one of their cars to see if I can identify it... Cheers RD

Have already had a stab with the stupidly insane "KEY BARREL CONNECTOR" am now moving my bet to ELECTRIC MIRRORS and vacating the key barrel position...
Poor Huggie... There really should be a MENS GROUP forum on here... You know what, I may just hold that one back from the over worked and thermonuclear Waggin for just now... |

Gday mate, Ive just had a read of your thread and I have to say well done.
Good work with the dash. I have just pulled mine out of my NF and even though it was easyer than I first suspected, It was not easy. I cant say I remember that plug you are trying to find out where it goes, as i did not venture behind the sound deadining in that area. It looks like a HDD power plug  . I hope you find where it goes.Cheers Josh |

Here it is just past midnight Sydney time and I am done for the night.
The diff is now 99% out (just sitting on the springs), hand brake cables all removed and ABS disconnected. Tomorrow it comes out completely and thank God for that, no more bloody whining from the back end. While I was under there I found the source of my fuel smell, the tank is leaking - looks like at the joint between the two halves. Can't quite see because of the guard. So now I definitely need to swap tanks between the EL and the ED. Just reading up on the removal process and I see the tank install will need resealing. What sort of sealant should I use to do this? The manual states a 15mm bead around the whole thing. If someone can fill me in on what to buy I'll go grab some. Off to bed now, 7:00am start to catch the better part of the day before it gets too hot and to wish my kids well in their baseball games. They understand what Dad is doing, my daughter just likes all the cool new buttons in the car and she is so looking forward to power windows Gotta love 'em...Night all, more updates tomorrow. Cheers RD

Yeahp - - When the left rear door was the last one to get power installed in my wagon the daughters complaining got me to do something about it. She definitely wanted "magic windows" like the rest of us had, and also it meant I had to put the black door lining on to accommodate the switches rather than the winder, so was the correct motivation for me. Although now I must be totally adverse to doors - that same door is now not opening from the outside and I just can't be a*** fixing it. Sad old man.

(damn my keyboard now has grease marks!) Rear bar off both for accessibility and the fitting of a towbar  Diff totally disconnected, springs and shocks removed. The diff is still there because I have nowhere to put the bloody thing yet!  Fuel tank unbolted and disconnected. Fuel lines under the car to go and then a fight to get it out  And one last one of a very tired spring hanger - the EL's are better so......  It's heating up now and the smellies have started again. Working in the shady bit now and tend to follow the shade around the car as the sun moves! Cheers RD
