As above. Once the radio is out and you have access to the two screws. Pull the console out (Can be very tight). Be very careful with the aircon unit, They’re now pretty rare and very expensive.

Nice car, attractive price.

Just got my 3200 a/c working but it took abit of patience. Replaced the condenser and dryer and had it gassed, It held pressure but the pump wouldn’t kick in. After much trouble shooting it turned out to be the pressure switch. All sorted and works a treat now.

High miles, No Mot, and budget tyres. You definitely paid up for it. Considering you can pick up a lower mileage moted car for £9k. Depends if you can operate a spanner or two? If not then you could be in for a bank account bashing.

Sounds like you need to sleep closer to your car.

Welcome. I hope you keep that baby garaged up there. Mart

Sorry to here this. No way would I spend £7k on a 10k car though. Either sell it for parts or buy a used engine and have It fitted for a reasonable price.

Also looks like a nice car. ‘Waits for all the swivel chair 3200 mechanics to cast their expert eyes on it’

Got this one with a hole in it. Can go cheap.

Still looking for one?

That looks a nice car. Even better if it was a Manual.

Yes I’ve done this, rear seats out along with the rear shelf. Then it’s A, B and C trims off along with the sun visors and interior light.

It clips up from underneath so needs to go down for removal and can be very tight to remove. Worse bit is refitting it

Even good cars require maintenance...... Good work.

I’ve bought two cars with contactless pots and both had CEL for throttle pedal. I haven’t touched these cars yet so can’t comment as to the setup but it didn’t fill me with confidence.
