  1. I used a socket that's a snug fit, they are only plastic so that they don't go rusty, If you do break one replace with a suitable temporary metal nut until you can get a plastic one.
  2. Removed my alarm siren today, it was relatively easy, removed the two plastic nuts holding the scuttle, didn't need to remove the forward edge rubber weather strip, the scuttle tray pulled out easily from under the windscreen and was able to view the location of the alarm siren. It is tight with the wipers still attached but I overcame this by cutting the scuttle (just the centre wiper hole) into a slot with some snips (this will be hidden when the scuttle goes back under the windscreen) You can now lift the scuttle over the centre wiper arm, this allows you to get loads of clearance under the scuttle. I next undid the three plastic nuts on the shroud covering the fan inlet and jiggled the shroud out from under the scuttle. The metal bracket that holds the alarm siren is riveted in place, remove the metal nut holding the siren and pull/bent the bracket towards the front of the car just a bit to allow the siren to be slid out from behind the bracket. Reassemble in reverse order. That's it, it took about 30 minutes. I only removed the alarm siren to check the part number before ordering a replacement. When the part arrives i reckon I can cut the time down now to about twenty minutes.
  3. Just had to replace this part on my other Felicia, easy enough to do, the only hard part is getting the white plastic anti-theft shield back in place.
  4. Dodgy A recipe for either 'You've been framed' or 'Casualty'
  5. Nothing wrong with Thyssenkrupp exhausts, they are OEM suppliers to a lot of auto manufacturers.
  6. Yes it has, that's what the search box is for top right :p or would you like someone to search for you?
