How do I remove the side of the central pedestal? RRS S/C 2005
I don’t find that in my workshop manual.
I need to remove the “carpet?” to check my rusty floor.

The whole center console ?

It's not easy.
remove radio surround. Pull grey/wood trim from the bottom
I think you need to remove radio and then remove climate panel


Pull the wood or grey trims outward. Remove screws at the front
Pull the gear knob off by pulling it off, upwards
Then the center top can be lifted. Unplug lots of plugs

Remove the fridge or box
I think you need to remove the gear selector block. 4 bolts.
There is then a base under the gear selector which needs removing. 4 bolts.
Then the center console screws/botls can be removed.

Something like that anyway

I hope I only need to remove one side if possible.
I have removed the top of the pedestal with all the el. connections.

I think it my be turned sideway, sorry.
The side panel holds the floor mat /carpet in place and I think I have to remove
it to get the carpet out.

@ Andy K, thank you for your answer.

Thank you very much Col.
I have to find that chapter.
Ok, I understand that this will be more stripping than I hoped for.
Thanks for your help.

I have googled to find a new floor (if mine is too bad) but can not find anything.
Front seat left side new floor, can you give me help to find the that part?
RRS MY 2005. If there is a part number you know it can help.

I have looked at a old parts list and it does not appear to list the front floor pan separate, it is an integral part of the bodyshell, there is one listed AFD780011 but it is showing for the rear.

Cheers

Thaks Col.
Ok. I have to remove the Console and check the floor and find the source of leaking water.
There is a connector behind the transmission selector lever box, I don’t know how to remove it.




Why is my photos shown sideways?

If you want to check then you could do what I did in my Jag ...cut a nice flap (3 sides ) in the centre and when you finished glue it back and put your cover mat on it.
If its that rusty can you not probe it from under the car . Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

Learned to 4x4 on 100 mile beach and Frazer Island QLD
Dont spend money on old cars you will never get it back

I don’t recall it being a difficult connector to remove.

Most will have a tab that needs pushing.
Some will retract by moving at a right angle. Maybe Martin knows.

The 2 AC drains are a little forward from where you are. I think, either side of console

Thank you Andy K. I found out that it is a lever to open up the lock 👍



I have finally removed the console and can lift the carpet higher up.
The floor is very badly rusted.
This picture is also 90 degrees sideways 🤨

OK. Thanks everybody for guiding me forward.
I do not know what to do next.
Have anybody you know of had same problem with rust, and fixet it?
No spareparts available as Col informed me.
Have Disco 3/4 the same floor and problem?

maybe I should start i new post in a forum about my problem with rust in the front floor.?
