Hi all

Having a total nightmare with halfrauds   Their no job too complex logo on their website appears not to apply to them fitting  front speakers to the xjs which they literally told me was too complex!

How easy is it to get the cards out for the front speakers?

Thanks

Hi mark

Yeah its facelift 1991

They are a nightmare  the have started talking about the mobile fitting option so may have to go down that route  this is just for the speakers

They seem to feel they can fit the new head unit but i am worried now in case they mess it up

There already is a cable in place for the head unit which terminates in the left hand recess in the boot. At worst you could follow this route. Might still be compatible, worth checking. Door cards similar principal to pre-facelift only you don’t have the door mirror controls to worry about. When replacing you must ensure the two metal lugs behind the arm rest locate properly.

Happy days

Takinf the door cards off is not particularily difficult. Pull the chrome cover off the handle, Put some tape over the handle to protect the leather. Undo the nut under there with a spanner. Remove the chrome plte which contacts the door light switch.
Undo the two screws under the door pocket.
Prise the door card clips loose at the sides and bottom, there are tools to make this easier.
Lift the door card off upwards manouvering over the door handle and seat controls, until you can pull the wires off the door light.
There are two big clips/overhangs in the middle of the door and two smaller ones at the top which need to be engaged when refitting the panel, otherwise the door panel comes loose or interferes with the closing/opening. If the plastic clips are broken or missing you can buy them .....from Halfrauds!
