Re: Knocking from ventilation system
You won't get your money back from selling it for sure, the markets slumped as the pandemic is over. Syncros are still going for daft money but thats about it.

Re: Knocking from ventilation system

Re: Knocking from ventilation system
Bloody hell I removed a dash for a chap, replaced his heater box fan and wired his stereo for 80 quid all within about 4 hours. The screws can be a bit of a bugger along the top of the dash and the heaterbox fixings.. opening the heaterboxes takes time if they are still plastic welded.. but breaking...
