I used the Rezpak when i did mine - works a treat :)

You must be a contortionist to have done the whole job in that time :cheer:

I found taking the glove box out helped enormously.:yesnod:

I replaced the coils with Maplins resistors. However you do it, it's great to have a full choice of fan speeds again.

well hood down legs up in the air, it reminded me of changing the coolant pipes on the metros,maestros and montegos oh what fun i had back then with them blighters. best to take the glovebox out gives you more room, move the air vent then its just taking the 2 screws out and resoldering the new coils in

haha im a slim type of chap and can contort my body a bit, i find working under the dash like this helps a bit you can get right up and have a good gander underneath. the only hard bit is reaching for a screw driver.:lol:
