Jiminy Cricket Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hello everyone, Had a look through the archive and old posts but cant find quiet what I am after. I am starting to add a few electrical items to my truck and rather then messy switches fitted here and there and the head unit spacer required for the new up-rated stereo I was wondering if the TD5 style central console will fit in the 300tdi dash, providing a solution to the stereo and additional switches I need now and will need in the future? If this has been extensively covered in the past I do apologise for not being able to find it. As yet I have not sourced a Td5 dash so if there are other aftermarket solutions then I would love to here these as well. As ever finance is the key - low budget will be the only route, hence the thought of a td5 dash from a scrappy etc. All thoughts / help appreciated. Nick.

kingrat Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Mud Console is one option which I use, but also the Raptor console is getting a lot of rave reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Surgeon 130 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 mud console from www.mudstuff.co.uk would be my recommendation here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudplugger Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 ive fitted the raptor dash and can say its bang on...even been a tart and fitted dash upgrades very good >>> very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I used the Mud Stuff console and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it IMO it looks the part the best, it's certainly strong and easy to fit. It'll save you fitting a whole TD5 dash too HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Swap the gauges and instrument binnacle to Td5 ones, and fit a MUD console as suggested above. Bingo, easy Td5-style dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiminy Cricket Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Thanks all for your replys, looking like a MudStuff concole then as seems to be voted for the strongest and price / fitting seems reasonable - like the LR detail as an option! Thanks again. Nick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Chua Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 i own a my2002 defender with the 'new' center console. after taking it apart a few times, i doubt it will stand up to repeated removing and fitting. my take, if you do not already have a 2002my dashboard, no big deal. the mud stuff console is a better answer as to cost wise and durability. besides it's more 'customisable' in how you want things to be laid out. note : Td5 from 99 to 01 had the same dashboard layout as the tdi aside from the warning indicators and the digital speedo and meters.
