davie Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Looking for somebody who maybe has a 2003 ish td5 90 dash in bits to get a hole measured or maybe knows it - being cheeky/lazy and not opening mine up if i can avoid it the hole for cigarette lighter socket once existing unit is out - does anyone know diameter of it please? looking to fit a twin usb socket with volt gauge in it and need hole size first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I’ve fitted two dual usb’s into mine (the first one failed) - and both just fitted as far as I remember. I don’t know what the diameter is - but it must be pretty universal ? The thing I did wonder about was the length - there isn’t tons of space behind the dash due to the loom that sits in there. However the USB’s I bought were pretty compact and fitted ok. Sorry that’s not a measurement- but I wouldn’t anticipate you having any issues.

Bowie69 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Agreed, they are a standard size, never had to cut one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 awesome thanks folks Now for the next fun question - heated front screen in 2003 td5 90 csw, seems to be having voltage issues in terms of i do a fair old bit of short runs daily which i know is bad for battery, then weekly a decent run. using a landrover sets of relay etc would it be logical that when main battery is low just after a start it cuts off quick? let it run ten mins and its fine.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The heated screen is on a voltage-sensitive relay so likely it would not cut in until the battery is feeling a bit better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davie Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 Thanks Fridge - that would explain why i can press switch and it illuminates and then turns off but after a sit and idle time with no load on its happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
