Guest wodge Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 unless like me you have a heatshield and a ridiculously low cab then thats not an option...had to take my front bumper off...was right twat. a preventative cable tie now in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Milkey Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Easy job, had this problem myself the other week. As said, Jack the front up a bit and reach up underneath (Behind the radiator) you will be able to feel the catch, push It towards the passenger side of the car.
