The 1.7 16v quad cam boxer engine was also available on early 145/146.

Thanks, that’s the one I was trying to follow but that’s for a pre-facelift which is different. I think I’ve worked it out now, there were two extra bolts hidden at the front of the console under the carpet. I think I can now raise the NIT just enough to get to the fixings but it looks pretty...

I need to fit a replacement NIT cover but I can’t access all of the screws to install it as they’ll be hidden under the cover when installed: Do I need to remove the entire NIT unit and then install the cover, before reinstalling everything? If so, presumably that means I need to remove the...

Thank you for the information, I really appreciate it. Do you know if the ignition switches are still available? There are a few used ones available but it makes sense to fit a new one if they’re obtainable. Was it similar symptoms that caused you to require changing the ignition switch on...

I’ll have a look, thank you

thanks very much for all the details, it’s much appreciated. I’ve been messing around with glass alignment on and off for months and have been going in circles because whilst it seemed the glass was perfectly aligned, I was still getting wind noise. I now have an even gap along the B-pillar...

Thank you, I’ll investigate
