RE: [doc] Proud owner of PSO, back online...



Not at all (depending on exactly what has happened). I'm not sure on the access in a RHD but it can't be far off that of a stock LHD. I would get in to which ever side is your passenger side ;o) and see if you can see up beind the centre console (with a torch you should be able to) and from there you should be able to see the trunking. It may be a case of just re-attaching.

Of course, others may have different ideas.

Stephen,


None of your vents will emitt air at all if the main trunking as come
away... you'll certinaly hear a lot but nothing will happen.
