After dissecting my dash I could not find any remnants of an aerial lead or a power lead. Could it be possible that the aerial lead (if fitted) ran between the dash and the window through the door jam up to the roof rack? Or could it be that there was no radio installed in this vehicle? I found a photo from the 2003 G4 trials in Canada where a Disco II had a Garmin "GPS V" unit installed in the exact same area on the dash (right below the removable rubber pad). It looks like from the photo that the aerial for the GPS unit ran through the door up to the roof.
Do you know where I might be able to look for photo's of vehicle number 78 from the 2003 Challenge? I am trying to rebuild my vehicle back to the condition she was in during the event and have had no luck in securing actual event photo's. If anyone has any shots of vehicle 78, I sure would appreciate it if you could pass them along.

Any ideas on who (or where) is a good source of photos from the 2003 event? I am looking for photo's from stage 1 and 4 for vehicle 78.
- the radio aerial leads to the left of the windscreen and the power cable to the right and this is what they look like.......:)
There is a DIN plug that goes into the dash; the white plastic power lead and a small 4 pin circular plug on the same cable. this is joined to the red black wires where the silver aerial plug is pointing! So much power.They are permanently live with positions 1 and 2 on the circular plug also live.
Which is the radio supply? and which is the Garmin supply? What was the DIN used for?
I also have twin 12v cigarette and DIN power points on the front passenger seat support between the legs; on the nearside rear head lining and a single cigarette power outlet in the load area. Also 240v power inverter under the drivers seat!:w00t:
Does everyone else have these???
My G4 I was told was used in Australia as a press vehicle its number was 106 ( I found a g4 windscreen number sticker partially covered in sand stuck to the inside of the passenger door pocket!)
