Ok, so far so good. Started raining so thought I would come in, get some lunch and update you guys.
To start, lift up the ash tray lid and pull at the gear surround - this just pops up:
4 torque screws around this area:
Two bolts at opposite side holding the support brackets:
Voila:
Wiggle the ash tray out at this moment.
Allen head screw inside the bracket:
Two bolts opposite side behind where ash tray was:
Brackets off, easier than I thought:
Rear of armrest - the small ash tray just pops out as well as the small insert, just give it a yank!
Drivers footwell - use a flat head to pop off cover:
Reveals a bolt:
I also partially removed the dead pedal - screw head and a bolt behind a cover:
Passenger footwell:
Back to the armrest, I have GSM phone so had to detach these plugs:
13mm spanner to slacken the armrest bolt:
Et voila:
Pop off handbrake cover:
Pop out cig lighter and disconnect plug:
At this stage the console will just slide off, just need to manoeuvre it over the handbrake and gear surround:
Result
Difference between the two:
Removal off sliding door - easy peasy!!
Fitted:
The console needs trimmed so took it inside to take under an inch off the drivers side:
Lunch time!
