Just one thing I need to know when you put the allan keys/halfords removal keys, does the whole thing come out ? the square wallnut center with the four holes along with the actual CD player, or do you take the wallnut of first and then remove the CD housing ?  :-/

Yes.  :y

Just a little confused now, doesnt just the wallnut front come off, it seems like you are saying the front and the cd changer comes out as one :-?

The walnut surround doesn't need to come off in order to remove the headunit.  ::)

The headunit/changer is removed, leaving the surrounding trim, heater controls, ashtray, hazard and TC switches etc. intact.  :y

I will try the allan key as you said, i havent much patience,  >:(
Its hard because you cant see what you are trying to latch onto.
All this and i dont know if i will be able to repair it anyways :-/
As for the cd I dont know what type it is, but im sure i will have the problem one.
I will let you know if the allan keys work.
Thanks :-/
When you push the allen keys through the holes you will feel them 'click' into place, you should at this point feel a little more resistance, that's you located.  :y

Make sure the keys you use are large enough, too small and they won't catch on the clips.  ;)

...so I can only think maybe someone has damaged the part that these tools lock onto...

If that were the case the headunit would come out even easier!

Like i said previously, i've always found those tools to be piss-poor.

Take it back, tell them it's crap and not fit for it's purpose and buy some ball end allen keys. The allen key method has never ever let me down.  :y

Remember, key to not damaging anything, is patience.  ;)

...so have you any tips to getting the facia off. Thanks :'(

Yes, don't try and force it off, because it's not meant to come off!

The clips may be broken at one side, hence it being slack, but the facia can only be safely removed once the entire headunit is removed.

You need to remove the headunit by inserting the 'tool' into the four holes, two at either end of the headunit. You will of course have to remove the grub screws from the holes first.

With regard to the 'tool', i've always found these to be pretty poor, i always use ball ended allen keys for removing units, never fails.

Also, when you are trying to remove it, don't pull on the facia, or try to prise it out with a driver, no matter how tempted you are, you'll only damage it. With your 'tool' inserted and located properly, you push each one away from the centre of the unit whilst pulling at the same time. ie. the left to the left and the right to the right, while pulling towards you. If the tool, or allen keys are located properly they shouldn't come out.

It is tight, but it will come with a bit of patience.

With regard to the screw you tightened, remove it completely and see if it makes a difference.

Which 'little screw' did you tighten? Was it within the changer itself or on the magazine?

Probably a silly question, but i presume you have inserted the discs into the magazine the correct way up? I've seen it happen!

Also, can you hear the changer mechanism opening the magazine and moving between the discs when inserted, and does the correct sequence appear on the display...1, 2, 3, 4 etc. before it shows no disc.

Cheers Mark - is the nut inside the car, or is it the one that you can see when you unscrew the aerial mast thingy?  :-[

Yes, it is inside.  :y

You have to drop the roof lining if you are changing the base as well, not a hard job but quite time consuming and be very gentle with it ;)

Must type quicker.  ::)

If it's the antenna, it just unscrews.

If you need to remove the complete unit you'll have to remove the plastic trim which runs the length of the back window, where the high level brakelight is, to gain access for removal.  :y

window works fine, just the lock wont pop up or down with the rest of the doors. I'll check that connector now, fingers crossed!

Whilst you are there, you could also check there is no broken wires etc. All that opening and shutting does tend to take it's toll.  :-/

Good luck.  ;)

First port of call is the connector plug.

Open the door completely and you will see the rubber conduit carrying the cables from the door to the centre pillar. If you pull the rubber off as it enters the pillar you will find a connector plug just inside.

Check it is seated properly and there are no corroded or loose connections.  :y

There is a How2 on changing the HBV here.  :y

Probably not the head gasket, so don't panic yet.  ;)

More likely the HBV, or heater bypass valve, it's pretty common and not a hard job to replace.

Do a search on the forum for the above, plenty will turn up.

Failing that, it could be one of the hoses at the rear of the engine, either way, you should see to it as soon as you can as the coil pack lives back there, and it don't like water.  :y

Even with tinted windows and blind up, mines still turns green.

The difference is really obvious though when the blind is down.
