I am sure Jules has done a How-to...anyhow, it looks a huge job but isn't...you'll need to make a cutaway on the LH side of the fan housing for the aircon pipes - it saves a regas as you don't need to disconnect the pipes this way. Expect some seized nuts on the slam panel...shouldn't be too bad though! Removing the bumper...you need to be quite forceful along the sides. Good opportunity to check all pipe work for rubbing, wiring for chaffing and possibly to fit Jules' resistor mod.

When you cut the plastic surround to free the two pipes...be careful as the plastic can be quite brittle!

Well how did it go? or did i miss the post, do tell.

Just realised this all happened a while ago, too many posts and too many forums lost track, going to lie down in a mellow room now, bye.
