hope the collective experience can help here...
firstly, with the geargaitor and centre console removed, I have "dropped" part of the plastic heater fan dial (the green / tinted part) into the ether where the gearlever is - is seems a covered tunnel between the gearlever and the handbrake, cant see / feel / hear it so am regrettably going to have to leave it there, anyone know what I mean???? I am sure it cant do any harm, only annoyance that I need to source another one!
I have then heard the "whirring noise" of the aerial motor with the stereo wired in, so having read on here thought i'd give the motor and cabling a look. I took the motor off the housing and then out of the car, and a couple of cogs seemed to have jumped. having carefully refitted the cogs, the cable, the housing, and then the unit onto the brackets, I've put it back into the car. there is an earth strap screwed into the top of the aerial and bolted down onto the body bracket, but there seems to be a second very thin earth strap "appeared" coming from inside the motor housing - where the bl@@dy hell did this come from, I am assuming this should earth to the bolts fitting the unit to the body????
other than that, the decommissioning has gone down well so far - beats eating turkey!
