It's actually quite easy....
Just involves a lot of pain for the dog.....If you look closely at the picture you will see his bo..ocks dangling from ignition !!!!!!!
Having said that he's a good driver...until he sees a cat.. then it's bedlam!!

Then stay looking! The heat output is alost non existant and I flattend my battery in about five minutes using the one which now graces the bin!

I do have a couple of spare exchangers and have pondered on swapping them over and then though against it! hehe

Whyd you have to take the donkey out to get the exchangers off? i had mine off yesterday in situ, should only take an hour or so?
