I thought the forum automatically reduced the size of pics
Obviously not.

Sigh... if only things were a bit more easy.
Used G3 scratch remover on the drivers door and headlights. Not as good as 3M but enough of an improvement to make me happy

Pull away the rubber seal at the passenger side, unscrew the single screw at the front of the plenum cover, pop the first three scuttle panel clips out (being careful they don't fire away never to be seen again!), then lift the scuttle panel s bit and slide out the plenum cover. There you are, access to Ecu and pollen filter!

The way I've written it makes sense to me, hope it does for you.

Stewart is spot on with how to remove the pollen filter link below also shows you how. Adrian a 1.8 should be easier to remove the ECU for pollen filter change.

I have found the best way to get the wipers off is to undo the nut, the collets will come loose if you jerk the bottom of the wiper blades a few times. Be careful that you do not lose the collets when they come loose.

Took the nuts off, soaked in wd40, tried wobbling the lower arm, tried prising up with screwdriver, cold chisel, ball joint separator...... nothing worked. Went to Halfords for a puller tool.... they hadn't got one.
But thanks to Arctic for pointing me to his how-to for diesel pollen filter removal I shall give that a go soon

So after a quick EEprom programming session, where I told it it was now a YAC003790LNF, swapping out the white backlighting LED's for amber, and a rummage through my box of bits to locate a Mk1 dial overlay........well let's just hope he's not disappointed with the end result

Thanks Brian . Much appreciated. You are a star .

Yes. If you follow Steve's instructions, you won't go wrong. I do mine the way Steve does his. Also as Steve says, be careful in cold weather when prising,pulling anything plastic,it is very brittle in the cold.

Did you get that front seat bolt shifted ?

Just bought an Engine Bay wiring Loom for the 1.8 Turbo..... as once again the car has broken down and is been recovered by the RAC

Seems a problem with the section of harness that feeds the crankshaft sensor keeps causing faults.... hopefully this resolves the problem !!

Not yet Pete, the Irwin bolt removers arrived but was the basic set and didn't have one big enough. I need the expansion set.
XCP has arrived, and I've got some Milliput for if all else fails.
Not moving as fast as I would have liked.
