How to remove overhead light unit

[VWKev]

Have you fitted your Fiscon yet Kev?  If so, where is the mic just now?
Like I said earlier - give me 2 weeks (hopefully) and I'll do you a step by step idiots guide with pretty colour pics 

Not fitted yet, I'm gagging though.

Mine isnt a Fiscon, but a wire is a wire 

So...from the headunit feed the wire to the right through the gap, take it accross the back of the dash to come out in the fuse box area. feed it up the right hand  A pillar trim, accross the front of the headliner (tuck it in) and if you`re careful you can prise the headliner down just enough to feed it accross to the light switch.
Going begind the dash and going from the front of the headliner to the light is where I used my `fishing line` I mentioned earlier.

f**k knows where you are  Sounds like the M1.

Hmm, learn by doing

Hmm, learn by doing 

I've got a specc'd out £30k car, not a two bob run about that I'm doing up. But yeah, lets rip the roof lining off and start poking about sh!t when I aint got a clue just so that I learn.

Oooh, you`re an angry young man !

I already described where to route the wire, besides doing it for you, I dunno how much more help you need???

Chillax dude

..or pay someone to do it for you.

Not angry, just in disbelief. I've never heard anyone say learn by doing before. All those car mechanics just turned up on the job one day and their boss told em to just learn to fix them by doing it. Here on earth, I think people are trained or shown what to do so they learn. Might be wrong through.

I actually did laugh out loud!
Aye keV, I'm on the same planet as you. Training can take many forms, vocal, visual, written...oh wait, that's what you've been given!

I guess that's why so many people buy Haines workshop manuals, gotta get their hands dirty sometime.

Honestly, if you don't want to DIY, then pay someone.

Simples.

Anyway, be as sarky as you want, I'm bored now so won't even wasting my time checking in on this thread again.

Sorry Kev, you're wrong. Training gives you the basics. You learn by doing - it's called experience.

I 'learn by doing' too.  I've never had any training in changing car stereos, taking the interior apart etc, but I just have a go!
I'll have a go at anything if I think its possible... and if I mess it up, then I'll pay to get it fixed!
Forums provide knowledge, but someone has to 'have a go' before they can relay on their knowledge!
Its all good fun.

I got an ED30 3 almost 3 years ago, and within 1 day of owning I'd changed the aerial from a bee sting to a sharkfin, fitted an Alpine stereo, canbus adapter & bluetooth kit, hacked holes inside my ashtray and hard wired a micro road pilot... and a few days later removed the bumper and glove box to fit the laser pilot detector!

No pain, no gain

Remind me if you ever become a Doctor, that you have actually been through medical school before you treat anyone.
