someones broken my diagnostic cover clips
« on: 15 January 2011, 15:50 »
hi all

i noticed the other day it looks like the previous owner broke the metal clips on the diagnostic cover and decided the best fix was blu tack tut!

anyway anyone got either a dark wood diagnostic panel kicking about or one clip and it seems to be missing?

im just wondering if im missing clips from the centre console where it attaches? are there ment to be metal clips on under the ac unit for it to clip into or just plastic bits?

should be two little metal sleeve clip things which help it hold in place, it's common for them to break though and the diag port cover to fall off when you boost over bumps :D
