will have to see what I'm up against but I/we ( Dave and me) will have a go at anything
and if that doesn't work , ill get a really really big hammer and beat the crap out of it.
but saying that , I will have a pal of mine helping me , and hes kinda got OCD so ive no idea how he will tackle it

Those of us with CDO (OCD in alphabetical order as it should be) are great to have around for jobs like these... I think they wanted to keep the wires for some reason that I can't remember... But if you can fit the connectors thru the holes in the hatch, that is probably the best bet...

Good luck!!! And we love pictures on here... Just don't go with the (BLEEP BLEEP) at photobucket... I lost nearly ten years of write-ups cause now they want to charge me to leave pictures displayed instead of a generic image that is about the same amount of data used... Okay, rant over... I use Imageshack now....

Cheers!!!
