Thanks to AI, the Beatles are collaborating with Cilla Black to release their bid for the Christmas No 1...

It's a cover of Police Nabbedme Dad...

Question is, why would you want to remove it ?
To try and save whatever is left of the bulkhead :-\

Once you've stripped everything off the dash, it's only a handful of nuts to remove the dash pad. It was fitted assembled, removing it is far from impossible.

The hardest part is getting the end vent assemblies dismantled.

The passenger ends vent, glovebox and passenger airbag should give you all the access you require.

Finally. One out of 472 is a start. :y

Flew with a 25 year old girl tother day whose lips made Zsazsa Gabor look attractive 25 years ago. It's a crying shame that they do it to themselves because they think it makes them more attractive and blokes are so retarded that they think everyone should look like a Pornhub illusion.

Love it so much, I have never set foot in the sh1thole and never will.  :D
Err, so why do you think it's so shit, if you've never been?  Simply based on the fact they often vote in some socialists?

I have met and worked with several and they were all "tuesdays".
My vile hateful sister lives there and tells them she is Irish as quite a lot of them arent keen on Brits, despite the fact many thousands of British soldiers lie under French soil after giving their lives to protect them, because apparently they cant do that for themselves.
The French state is and always has been anti British. They give us a kicking at every possible opportunity.
That isn't remotely close to my personal experiences with the French*, either those I know, or those I have met on many holidays and trips there.  In my experience, they like us, and you only have to turn up to commemoration events to see a genuine gratefulness towards Britain.


*I don't class the arseholes from Paris or Calais as French.  Parisians are every bit as bad as Londoners.
Much like all those entitled winkers from the capital of Northern France, aka Edinbugger.

The air intake connects to the side of the heater box. That image shows the top of it. ;)

Radiator temp sensor/fan switch failure for the fans.

On the 2.5/3.0... throttle cable adjustment or worn throttle body are possibilities along with a failed idle control valve.

If the car has cruise control, a faulty unit might bind up the throttle movement.

It's almost certainly throttle related.

Any pictures of actual women?

The state of some of the girls at work, and mostly under 35, with faces stuffed full of Botox is actually quite sad.

Shit like this doesn't help.

The water isn't even over the door sill ;D

Just serves to highlight the problem with letting Lunduners leave Lundun.

what's pee'd me off tonight were all the drivers infront of me that can't read speed signs & continue at 30 in a 40 & make no effort at all to speed up to the limit .... (I know it's a limit & not a f...ing target!!!!!!  :-X)
And the prick in front of me that refused to move from the outside lane of the slip road that continued to drive at 40 when they were yards from lane 1 of a f...ing motorway.  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

......... and breathe  ::)
That sounds like my journey home... Except I had that Can't who accelerated when I went to overtake... Decent stretch and I was already well past the car behind him... And then braked as soon as I indicated to drop in behind him when an oncoming car appeared. >:(

Apologies to the Mini behind. :-[

I wonder what goes through the mind of these eejits... I mean a Volvo XC40 isn't going to survive a 60(ish) Mph tap to the rear quarter from the ML :-X

And don't get me started on the Portsmouth Private Hire driver on the A3 between the M25 and Ripley services. It was 50 because of the road works, but they've recently returned it to NSL/70.mph. Outside lane with passengers doing 52 mph and braking to 40 at every camera even thought they're all signed as not in use. Again a Kia shit box isn't going to survive being rear ended by an SUV.

I had to stop at the services otherwise I would have probably driven over him.

Glovebox, fan and airbag removal will strip away most of the passenger dash allowing significantly improved access to visualise and strip the interior parts of the cabin air intake ;)

It will also give an unfiltered view of the areas that rot away unnoticed where the firewall and scuttle join the shell.

Not going to bother with the TV tuner or RSE.

The Aux input I retrofitted is the 3 channel RCA factory options. Currently use it for audio only into a 3
5mm jack to feed Spotify in from the phone.

Video switch off speed can be set with Xentry easily enough, but if you have a prang, expect to have to answer some awkward questions regardless of what the screen actually showed at the time. I think the split screen display from the last W221s can be retrofitted so passenger can watch video in motion.

Haynes may well cover it if you can't find the guide here :y

A manual Desmond was a bit more spritely than the Auto, but it has enough oomph to get out of its own way. Obviously it's never going to be as smooth as a V6 and it's a fair chunk of torque short of the 3.0/3.2, but it will get the job done.
