fridge button removal

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the fridge buttons should simply pull off with the fridge insitu? The ignition button is very stiff and not returning properly. I would like to remove and spray something on the mechanism to ease it.

Welcome a response.

Cheers

Diesel Cylinder number sequence

Hi,

I would be grateful if anyone could clarify the cylinder number sequence on my 1.6td. Is it simply 1 (nearest the boot), 2, 3, 4 (nearest the cab)?

Thanks

Jim (with a lot to learn!)

In the meantime any further info on location of switches, fuses to check welcome.

Cheers
