The one taken off has part number 3232 648C and it is 95 mm end to end but I have read on this post that this number pertains to the smaller 80 mm adjustable one. I specifically ordere...

Engine missing then dying when hot

Subsequent to my original posting of this topic back in June this year, I checked out all the advice posted on the forum, for which I am grateful.

Can anyone assist. How do I get the dashboard out from my left hand drive series 2. I need to get into the air vents which appear to be blocked and my airconditioner fan is not working. (This is probably an electrical problem so I need to get at the wiring). Regards Peter
