Running cables through Rover 75

Christopher · 3rd July 2007, 18:29

I will need to pass some cables from the battery (power) to the boot and some AV/data cables from Rover PC in the boot to the centre console ... I was wondering if there was any preferred sides to pass power and data (say power on the left-hand passenger side and power on the right-hand driver''s side or down the centre??)

Perhaps any one with an ICE fitting experience can comment?

Many thanks

I took power for the FBH through one of the two grommets in the passenger footwell behind the fuse box.
It is easier to see these with the wheel liner removed and it is probably getting the leads through there that is the most awkward as taking wires to the back is easy once you lift up the edges of the carpet you should even find spare clips are in place for additional wiring along the sill.

I have run the sat nav loom up one side and the tow bar loom along the other both dead easy there is also fused power available on the internal fuse box where the tow bar loom plugs in

Thanks.

I intend running "power" related cables on the passenger side and "data/sound" related cables on the drivers side.

I think I need to get some clips for the sill trim as I am bound to break some - any kind soul already used them and so have the partnumber handy??

Many thanks
