Terratrip and Phonekit Fitted

As with the nearly all of the Land Rovers previously owned by Team Scrapheap the Terratrip 303+ has made an appearance; this rally computer will allow us accurate distance, time and speed reading from the SLABS ECU read out on the Discovery 2. Instead of the usual 'homebrew' mount we decided to opt for a genuine Terratrip mount; as can be seen from the photographs below its made for a 'professional' looking install.

Once it was all wired including the DSI unit (speedo pulse sensor) it was time to calibrate it using the Vascar markings just off the local major A-road, the test show it to be accurate to within two hundredths of a mile. Unfortunately the speedo feed seems to have a constant pulse from the ECU causing it to count up slowly; hopefully this will be sorted in time for the Mac.

In combination with the above fitment we thought it advisable to for a Handsfree car kit and charger into the vehicle; the Bury car kit allows any phone to be fitted with the appropriate adapter ... perfect for Team Scrapheap due to the driver owning a Nokia and the Co-Driver owning a Blackberry!
