Subject: LR 126 Additional Switches
On LR126, underneath the heater /cooler unit, are three additional switches, anyone any ideas what they might be for ? Picture taken with the radio removed.

I think that the knob is possibly a speaker balance for the radio, if it's had a second speaker fitted. Switch could be for anything, and the button... maybe it's a starter button?

Thank you for your assistance.

Another very helpful owner has directed me as follows :

1. Knurled knob to the left is speaker balance, front to back.

2. Middle non-standard switch - unknown

3. Far right push button is for the petrol filler cap release.

The Rapide does not have a starter button, it has an ignition key and choke which is needed when starting from cold.

After trawling the net today, I believe the middle "mystery" switch maybe for my radio aerial, but stand to be corrected of course ?

If memory serves, and if your car has the Motorola radio with the illuminated Lagonda text behind the frequency range, then the aerial should go up when the radio is switched on and down when off. So if no Motorola, then I can understand need for separate aerial switch

David - many thanks, will have to wait a little while until I find out, so could still be a surprise still.

An excellent memory I see from just one look at the car...

Yes it has the original fitment Motorola 707 I believe as specified on Build Sheet. I have not removed it yet, to test it or see if it has the illuminated Lagonda.

It has the Lagonda motif - you don't need power to see it.

Not all Rapide 707 radios have the Lagonda motif though
