I am hoping my local dealer will be as nice. The previous owner had it serviced last and that was done up near Slough...so a bit far for me to go back to them :lol:

But at least it's not just me who can't remove them :D

I have an new panel filter to put in but can't budge the nuts at all.....have tried using my own brute strength and an allen key and that didn't work. So then tried a drill but that didn't budge them either :? Am starting to worry that it could be a ...

I'm glad its that easy as i need to get round to doing this soon as well. I need to change both grab handles and covers for both doors. Once the door card is off i presume taking the grab handles off is a straight forward case of undoing some more screws.

Cheers for the replies

What are the differences between the KW coilovers and the Weitec ones though? They are both made by the same people but the Weitec ones are cheaper...but have no idea what the key differences are :?

So ...
