Balls, I've had a syncro and only been driving in 2wd drive. Mine didn't come with the 4wd button :rofl

But did you get holes in the dashboard?


Not yet but I'm getting my drill out this morning, it's the new cherry part :roll:

I've got a box of metric holes here you can have, various sizes.

You actually drove over some bollards (hope you mean curb, bollards are bloody big!) :lol: owning a syncro does not allow you to drive offroad whenever you wish :lol:

Door pull has small and large Phillips screws underneath the two little flaps - one either end - which can be opened with a very small screwdriver. Window winder is easy. At the end where its attached to the door the plastic pulls away to reveal a phillips screw. Leave the speaker alone as it should be attached to the door card.

Cooper this is kindergarten stuff compared to most stuff on a Syncro. If you cant work this type of stuff out on your own you have a VERY long road ahead of you.

Surely brakes should take priority over fitting a stereo

:shock:
What a long strange trip it's been
