agreed... it definitely looks the mutts nuts

How is the piano black looking after a few weeks of use?

Still looks as good as the day it got painted. I look after my belongings very well and even my drivers interior door handle which were specc'ed from new (grand black lacquer pack) has no marks on it ...

Looks good. I developed an unhealthy obsession with polishing my black bits on mine. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Yes it can get obsessive but it's lifts the whole interior  MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

[quote="LR NUT"]This morning I decided to fit the iPad mini screen protectors the the 7" Meridian sat nav unit.

Sorry, I don't get it. It's a touch screen isn't it. Isn't it designed to be touched? Why does it need a screen protector?

For the same reason I have one on my phone. It prevents scratches. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

This morning I decided to fit the iPad mini screen protectors to the 7" Meridian sat nav unit. Obviously it would need a bit of trimming down but it was cheaper to use what I have rather than searching for the indentical size.


Using the trim removing tool pop of the centre dash speaker panel by working the way around the edges.


Now lift the panel up towards yourself slide it up and lift it straight up to remove.


Remove the two torx screws holding the front facia


Remove the two torx screws which are located right at the top of the panel


I could not remeber from memory if there were any screws beneath the sat nav unit panel that I had finished in grand black lacquer. To be honest I did not want to touch it as its painted but it had to be removed and the trim removing tool really as use useful bits of kit and it will not damage any plastic or painted surfaces.


Once this trim is removed you now have access to the remaining last two screws


Now gently pull the whole facia towards yourself. Now you will have access remove connects from the sat nav unit and heating controls. Take a picture for reference if need be but the plugs are coded and the ones that are not are different sizes therefore it is impossible to connect them back up the incorrect way.


Centre panel removed




In order to remove the sat nav unit you have to remove the two large silver torx head screws on either side of the unit and two small black torx head screws under the unit.


Sat nav unit is now removed from its housing



Now measure the screen and decide how large you want the screen protector to be. Bearing in mind the the actual dash facia hides a certain amount for the edges. Once you have cut your screen protector down. Clean the screen I used spectacle cleaner which is perfectly fine and using a new spectacle cleaning cloth I removed all traces of fingers prints and dust. Now you can install the screen protector. It is such a neat job you can't even tell its fitted which is what you want. Once you are happy with the quality of your own work you can fit everything back into the car.


Once fitted back in the car I fully tested the screen protector and it works well with the unit and there is no lag etc. I realise this is a common complaint BUT maybe I'm one of the lucky ones as my unit has always been very responsive. Take note if you can fit a screen protector on your iphone/iPad without any bubbles or dust particles then you can do this job yourself otherwise I would not bother to tackle it. Just wish I'd done this earlier.

The car is two years old today I don't know where the time has gone tbh as I still remember speccing her up like it was yesterday! She spent most of her 2nd birthday on the family farm. We stacked up on coals,logs and some peat. Got the majority of the load on the D2 as it was hitched with the Ifor Williams whilst I had a baby trailer. Managed to squeeze the D2 in for an MOT also and it passed with no advisories. Brief 2 year summary FL2 is an excellent vehicle tackles all the farming activities with ease. Only thing I have to remember is to watch the bodykit occasionally. I really would be lost without an LR the brand has paid an important part of my family and we've never cosidered using Japanese pick ups like many farmers have! The Freelanders AWD grip is superb and best in it's class by miles! Really pleased I ordered a new one when I had the chance.
