What have you done to your Elgrand today?

[Highway Dave]

Lovely job , was going to do similar to e50 but edge of plastic is thicker than c channel in chrome I’d bought so used 15mm strip instead , is the chrome along door window Rubber standand or did u add it , I’ve thought a few times of doing it, really sweet looking bus

The ones along the window rubber( bottom) are the ones I bought , stainless and made for the Elgrand ( from Japan of course)

Wonder if they do e50 ones look nice my original ones look a bit shabby

I’ve seen them for Navaras on e bay , guess they will be similar

Back in the day they were on almost every car I owned, how things come back around

Took the family out today to South lakes for our first real trip in the Elgrand.
Nowhere to park on the beach (blinkin grockles everywhere) so engaged lock 4wd and easily crawled up onto a grass bank to park.
Felt like a champ.
Reversing off, managed to catch the exhaust.
Felt like a chump

Looking great mate but we have no evidence that they actually work

Oh no I've broken something
Tail lights are working on all 4, but the brake lights are only working on the 2 outer ones, and the high level brake light has stopped. (Obviously the 2 inner and high level are connected in the tailgate)
Checked tail light fuse and brake light fuse. All OK. I'm proper puzzled as to what I've done, or how to fix it

Took delivery of my chrome/stainless door garnishes today ( bottom of glass)
Told you, chrome is creeping back with a vengeance

Got a way to go to beat this guy Dave!

Think that’s how they work , four lights but only 2 brake lights

The 2 inner ones on mine definitely used to work as brake lights. (As they're the only 2 that did when fog light was wired into the outer one) but I've obviously f*****d something as high level isn't working either

 

[malcolmyz85]

Ignore that comment I’m talking bollicks, just been to check

 

[Reverend RobP]

Have some tail light pics without brake lights

 

[Reverend RobP]

Half a job of brake lights

 

[dognero]

If the inner ones are led is the polarity the right way around for the brake part?

Yeah I think so. Tried putting the old standard bulb into it and nothing with that either. Hoping I haven't melted something somewhere. Will try and look into it some more tomorrow if I get chance. At least I have some brake lights though, I'd be screwed if I didn't

From the pic you posted and going by the amount of wires. It looks like that is one of the original stereos that was still in it. Basically most of that will be redundant with a new stereo. All you'll need is the connector block which contains the power, earth, remote etc wires. And the connector block with the speaker wires.
All the rest just tuck it away down the back of the centre dash

Thankyou, just been out and spent 3 hours on it, with some careful reworking and tidying up( plus wiring diagram research) the new single din is finally in. I'm leaving the cd player in for now as I hope to figure out away of plugging it in to the new system so I can continue to play CDs.. All in all I'm very happy with the functionality, going to add the video input/output and reversing camera when I tackle the reversing/parking sensors.

Nice job mate. Well done!! Very similar pop up stereo as I've got its a bugger when you want to adjust the A/C controls
