Title: long metal rod, where does it go?
Post by: unlucky alf on 05 September 2008, 19:39:55
i wanted to change my bulbs behind the heater controls, so after reading the manual i set about it, in the manual it  says the facia for the switches is held by a sprung rod as indeed chris [MUTANTCAV] showed me today [we were drowned ;D], i rummaged about in the radio hole, found a rod & gave it a little tug,,,,ooooops! wrong rod >:(, i now have a rod just over a foot long with a thread on one end & a hook on the other & cant see where it goes or what it does, then to add insult to injury i discovered that my facia is held in different as it doesnt have A/C,[4 screws behind knobs], so could somebody please tell me what this rod does or how to refit it....cheers!

Maybe I should have given you the gold one instead...wrong gold anyway lol Dont have a clue what rod it is...

Would say the leather is warm and cosy but its probably freezing its ass off in the garage...needs a good home to go to :)
