Off topic, but am right in saying you're running without Archliners all round?

Nearly. Got the front ones cut down to stop the water spraying into the back of the lights.....

And once my FMIC is fitted this week, a nice space to route my brake ducting through.

Looking good! I removed the rears today, no worries about the fuel tank filler neck and all that jazz on the drivers side?

 

[Von Twinzig]

Haha, you guys sound like babies taking their first steps! I haven't had any of that stuff in my car since when it was still my wife's daily driver. Lol

Can't drive mine yet still waiting for seats.

Finally removed that pesky heater matrix and was presently surprised...





3.0kg and 4.7kg = 7.7kg!

My replacement is just under 1.2kg so a lovely nett saving of 6.5kg!! I was only expecting 5kg so I'm happy with that!

How much stuff did you have to remove to get at this heavy mother?

Just thinking the same question. Can it be removed without taking out the engine Nick?

[NickG]

I would say it's 'possible' certainly, but also that I wouldn't like to try it!!

You would definitely be able to fill a swear jar, put it that way.

 

[Von Twinzig]

What parts would be difficult Nick? My a/c manifold is history, so it looks like...drain the coolant, disconnect the two water pipes, undo 4 studs and the rest is from the inside. As the thing is scrap I could just cut off the studs from inside if I can't get to them easily...maybe?

VT

 

[NickG]

Yeah it's the studs from the engine bay that are a nightmare, you have to contort even with the engine out as they are behind some heat shield/insulation. It's certainly possible that you could cut it off from the cabin side I guess, although again it's so tight that I just couldn't see even where the studs were when I was looking.

 

[Von Twinzig]

Nick, when you get a minute could you take a photo from inside the engine bay identifying where the studs come through and maybe the back of the complete unit showing the studs themselves please? Thanks.

Okay, so the red circles are where you'll find 10mm bolts 4nr in total, the green circle is where there is a plastic leg that just pushes into a big rubber grommet...







Hope this helps!!! 8)
