don't get your knickers in a twist sunny  :tongue:

here's a quick run down

passenger side - slide a metal ruler down one side and pop the vent out

Middle - remove all the switches underneath the vents, then pop the vents off the hinges - push towards the side; undo the two screws at the back and remove the surround

Drivers - push and turn the headlight switch to 12o'clock and pull towards you and unclip the wiring.  think there is a screw located behind the switch there and or behind the vent part itself

Fitting the new ones is easy - if you've got the loom i'd suggest running that before putting in the new vents - run the loom across the top of the glovebox to the middle and then from the middle underneath the steering wheel and splice into the blue/grey wire in the headlight switch

read the guide Rich has posted a link to (its the same guide as the original!) you need to make a hole in the passenger side for the plug

to run it across the glovebox remove the side panel at the end of the dash (open the door) and you can push the loom across the top towards the centre  :smiley:
