if you stick your hand up the exhaust (make sure it isn't hot) and wiggle your hand a bit, you should feel the releasing bolts for the stereo. You have to remove it via the turbo so be careful when you remove the intercooler :lol:

Seriously, it comes out through the air vents.

Was along time ago an our car is in Bristol still, IIRC take off the 3 heater control knobs, they just pull off, give the surround a tug or get something that will help you prise it off , it's just clipped on, the stereo is screwed in........

Or there are 2 holes either side on the stereo(most stereo have this), if you dont have the keys that fit in them use 4 thinnish pot rivit stems or sommit simlar to help release the locking clips and it should pull out !

If neither of the above are not right I've signed a disclaimer :lol:

What stereo did you go for Foley?

My 1's in Peter Doidge's, Great Yarmouth having new speakers, amp and 12'' sub professionally fitted. Picking it up tonight!

hopefully should sound the tits. Cost £1000 all in.

Fitted a new clarion head unit almost as soon as I got the car.

Auntie used to stay in Admirality Rd (scuse the spelling) opposite the old gas tanks. I used to go on holidays 30+ years ago. Also used a guest house on Nelson Rd North.

Then first trip offshore was flying out of Yarmuff 16 years ago, still get the odd job down there. Good mate of mine uses the Albion although if it is a weekend will try to get a night in Norwich for obvious reasons :wink:
