Mik, The only place I ever saw that type of control was on Army SIII's. The civvy SIII's I drove all had a far simpler single plunger control.
Not really driven anything but SIII's and 110's and don't really pay much attention to such things anyway, so may well have been wrong.
Still glad the Stage 1 doesn't have all that lot. Never did like all those controls. Always a real pain for the middle seat passesnger

They are standard series 2, 2a & 3 controls. The stage 1 is the only series 3 that doesnt have them.i know this is a bit off topic but just looking at the internal picture or your truck, what are all the levers for (red and yellow)? I have 1 gear stick, 1 hand brake, 1 High/Low transfer, 1 difflock knob thing?? just curious
Red is the transfer box hi/low lever. Low also = 4x4
Yellow is for engaging 4 wheel drive when in hi ratio. You push down the spring loaded plunger to engage 4x4 and then select low then high again to disengage.
These are in addition to handbrake (sticks strainght up in series 3's), gear lever and overdrive if fitted.
The stage 1 is the first permanent 4x4 landy I have owned

LOL!!!! I took it for granted that every Stage 1 owner was a previous 4cyl series owner. I remember the first day i drove my 71 IIA off road . . . someone had to sit in the truck with me and explain the process for high/low in 4WD. Ah memories . . .Mik wrote:The controls in the picture have nothing to do with the army They're just standard ways of selecting 4wd and hi/low on SII, SIIa and SIII with 4 cyl engines and std gearboxes.

No, never had a 4cyl. Driven plenty of 110's and the odd SIII, but Stage 1 was my first Landy. I was actually after a Range Rover, went to see one only to find that it was actually a Stage 1 (how anyone would confuse the two I still don't know). Bought it on the spot for next to nothing and have had it ever since.

Speaker wire is normally two wires of the same colour with one having a coloured tracer line on it.
So the Sirius unit has jack sockets for the speaker outputs. If it's already amplified at the outputs, you could just put Jack plugs on the end of normal speaker wires, or if not amplified, make up a wire with Jack plugs to go to the Amp, then drive the speakers off the Amp.
I'm not familiar with Sirius Stereos, so this may be a dumb question, but, are the outputs fitted with the Jack Sockets the main speaker outputs or Auxiliary ones to line out to other devices? There may be normal speaker outputs on the main connector (presume it'll be an ISO type connector).
