Just got my Haynes manual :haha:

I can now see what is required to replace my facia trim and centre console - anybody want to come and spectate/ land a hand with the screwdriver?

I was thinking if we had a few people we could also do a step by step photo guide for the forum?

Feels like a possible mini meet...

Ah yes cookham - know it well. Used to work in Maidenhead and have a friend and another friends family who live there. Well I'm about 2hrs away so probably a bit far for me to nip down especially as I'm off to India on Friday for a week.

How about leaving it till the East Anglia meet ? happy to help you out there ?

Guys you a very generous - I'm in no hurry to do this i'll just see what interest i get before deciding a time.

Arbee - your right about the screws - think i'll need to get another battery for my screwdriver. ;)
