Sparkystav Lol I took the dash out of mine today as well, a LOT of wiring to tidy up again Sad

Horrible job innit. All I was trying to do was get access to the firewall behind the blower motor! Fortunately not so much wiring in the Datsun though. There was some weirdness behind there, the dash comes out in 2 parts and the loom is sandwiched between them, but clipped to the part you remove first (?!) so you have to unclip loads of stuff you can't see before it will come loose. There's loads of wiring behind there for aircon too which mine doesn't have. I ballsed up and forgot to reconnect the speedo cable too, so I've got no speedo at the moment, but I can fix that at lunchtime.

Made sure everything was still there!

Next door got broken into and they broke into my garage and used my claw hammer and breaker bar to get in! Thankfully they didn't touch the car or anything else.

Alarm for the garage I think!

Times must be hard when they can't afford their own breaking in equipment lol.

Thank the lord your car wasn't touched.

You can rig up a raspberry pi and a web cam to text you if it detects motion, I'll see if I can find the web link. Might be handy!
