Yes, bolt removed but just wont budge, even with quite a lot of pressure...

A swift kick.

Or aim for a rabbit at 60mph.

Trust me, they're tried and tested methods and surprisingly they both work.

It's out now, although the top clip has snapped off. I think the replacement part is @ £4. I was only supposed to be assessing a route in for a cold feed and its all turned into a bit of a nightmare!

It's drivers side. Do you think I should go for one of bored welsh lads grilles?

What I've learnt from this is that in order to remove the vent I need to push it in a little to release it from the clips and then pull it out.
