Is it above kick panel,  passanger side.  Think the wee box is a n energy saver for quad lights. When the car is parked with lights on, car stopped,  it cuts voltage.... Apparently?

Car is looking good, getting round it rightly.

The stuff l got is a little to thick as it was a bit of a bugger to refit the carpet as it made the carpet to high,but it does feel a lot better under foot 

I have a lot of 3 mm thick stuff so will be using that on the O/ S floor 

Got to paint the frames on the seat and the N/S front,central floor is done

Was thinking about yoga mats or exercise mats,  as dynamat is bloody expensive.  Hopefully leave it a bit quieter. 

They may to thick so the carpet will not fit the stuff l used is 8 mm thick and a bit of a #### to fit

Stupid question time 

How remove the gear-lever knob 

The wing indicator, where do the wiring go to get it working,as l found the wiring cut and going nowhere, How did pass a MOT 

The shaft splits with a clip compressed against a rubber sleeve. It’s done from below and is a pain.  Excuse very crude drawing, currently travelling and best I could do .

good written explanation from Brown here (but no pics, so I made you the diagram lol)

Thanks for the info, thought they were glued on the gearstick. The wiring is hidden behind the kickpanels, rather high.You'll find a grommet to the outside.

Thanks Herman 

l was looking for where the wiring connect to in the wiring loom
