Yeah, I would say that Taz meant bottom left ie: nearer to the glovebox. That way it'll get covered up with the plastic tray if you decide to take the GPS out.

Hey Guys.
I've searched and found existing threads on wiring a Garmin Nuvi (even found some LR instructions in somebody's gallery) but I've never dismantled a dashboard before.
I've got myself a ... |

You are right UKDEN. The instructions listed above are for a Defender etc. The FL2 has no drag link.
Adjusting the track rods it is then. |

I've also read that adjustments can be made to the drag link for minor steering wheel adjustments.
I am not sure that the FL2 has a drag link!
Is it not rack & pinion with the trackrods fit ... |

Had exactly that problem on mine when I bought it last December. Riders (formerly Carrs) of Truro sorted it out pdq without charge - don't know what they did but it's been fine ever since.

As JTS has stated the wheel needs to be central before any tracking adjustments are made.
I recently fitted a new steering rack and track rod ends. Took it to ATS, told them what I had done and could ... |

| This should have been done when they did the tracking. Normally the steering wheel should be centred first (they use a bracket that jams between the steering wheel and the seat to hold it in position) ... |

Hi there.
I've had my FL2 now for just over a year (2010 reg, 25K, 19" wheels), and I love it apart from a few niggles. For the purposes of this thread, one of my main niggles is with the stee ... |
