Range rover classic wiring.

[Elder]

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but would a rangie classic (mid
eighties) be just a bunch of bare wires rather than a proprietory or ISO
connector block.

There is a possibility that I am going to try and go blind for one on
Ebay and I noticed it has no radio fitted, so that will be one of my
first purchaces, some sounds.

Doubt it.
Probably a block like all most cars/trucks, unless thieves cut the loom when
stealing the radio.

When did the ISO standard or even manufacturers fitting blocks happen?
I had a Saab that was as Saab intended. Power was connected with
bullets, and the speakers were connected via a barrel connector for the
front and another for the rear. That was for a £20k car in the early
80's. It wasn't until the late 80's that Saab created it's own connector
plug, and then it was hit and miss if you got one or just bare wires.
They always fitted their own branded version of clarion gear. And it was
usually dealer optioning rather than factory fit.

Earlier ones had a bundle of Lucas bullet connectors. If it's still
got these intact, you can use standard 15amp bullets to plug into
them.Later ones have ISOs.

Cheers. I asked similar on the rangie/landie newsgroup. Nobody mentioned
the bullets, but it seems that quite often, the classics are owned by
muppets just before they get sold cheap and rusty and the looms are just
cut.

If need be, I'll wire in an ISO anyway. I've done it before.

I've gotten 2 wiring colours variances. Seems they both used the same
colours, but connected to different speakers.
