MacGyver goes camping! Well done to you (and your cameraman ) for sticking with it. Have you decided what option you’re going to use to access the socket?? The suspense is too much…
Ah MacGyver, my boyhood hero, the music is still playing in my head while in my memory a chewing gum wrapper and a coke can save the day in some clever way before bouncing of in his wrangler. The ‘hook’ for part two in this exciting journey(😅) is the final setup of my socket Miriam. What options to use….. stay tuned! I’m sure you’re gripped with suspense. Unfortunately and sadly life has dragged me away from this project while still in its infancy. I will undertake however to keep you posted on any developments in the plug plot. If you got through this one Miriam I’m going to rate you as being in my highest category of subscriber. This I think is quite far from what you come here for😂Thank you for watching on this one especially. Didn’t he do well with the camera though, forgive the paternal boast. Sure he’s only 10. 2hrs and 10mins is three times as long when you’re only ten. I hope you are making good progress in your own repairs too.
Everyday a school day!! And as an owner of an aging D3 myself, always on the lookout for something else to add to the list. Now, whether I actually get around to it is a subject for a video I'll never get around to too. That said, I think I've found my camera man. Well done both of you. Technically and visually great.
Well Miriam, the long and gripping suspense is now over, I hear your gasps of excitement and relief….the final orientation chosen in my case for the 13 pin socket in the bumper recess was with the lid opening towards the 7 0’clock position rotated around using the original location. I used the original holes to screw it on. I also had to grind about 4mm off the bottom of the steel in the bumper recess. Missed a major photo opportunity while the showers of sparks were flying off my grinder. Doh!!
Thank you Gordon. I’m afraid I cannot find a link, can’t quite remember exactly which way I bought it as it sat around on the long finger for a bit, but it’s the Erich Jaeger Discovery III 2004 - 2009 specific 13 pin conversion kit. I’ve been searching my inbox, Amazon, eBay etc to no avail. If I find it I’ll get back to you.
This kit looks identical except with the benefit of the socket adapter to make it fit better in the bumper recess. www.ebay.ie/itm/255571649871?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=5282-175127-2357-0&ssspo=otlOPFC4TN-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Ihkxbo8YQNu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
No, I’m happy to confirm this is not a promotion. This kit is sold by multiple outfitters under different names, the video examines the work involved and the result for the benefit of fellow D3 owners, not suppliers of the kit. I have zero association with any supplier of this kit. I trust this puts your concerns to rest.

Very much appreciate the feedback Paul. Great thing about owning a D3 of this vintage is it’s rarely difficult to find the next job 😅

And another satisfying job is concluded. To the next one...... 😊
Superb well done. Do you have a link for the kit and supplier..
