All done now, just got to try and superglue the carpet over the tunnel. My compensator was well and truly stretched so quite happy now. I will post the old one to you next week. Many thanks. John.

HI John
I can not work out why you could not peel back the carpet once you have removed the side carpet kickers and lifted from the corner either side of the rear seat wished you had pm me or emailed me could have given you my phone number and talked you through it, thanks for returning the old one once here i will tick you off the returns list cheers Arctic Steve.

Hi Dave
Received the unit , thank you. Fitted it yesterday. I also had quite a tussle with the carpet but by pushing it 'inside out' it gave me the space to work with. Also found that by removing the rear cables first the compensator can be pulled out under the console to remove the front cable retaining clip and cable end. Minimised risk of loosing the clip!
Handbrake now at 3 clicks.
Great work by you guys.

My old unit will be in the post tomorrow.

Hi Thomas
Thanks did you put your name on it so i know and your handbrake should stay firm now yes sometimes you can get away with not cutting the little piece of carpet under the console shame i did not find out how to do it before i buttered mine some you win as the saying goes all the best Arctic.
