    Removing The Gaiter

    So I've got the bolt off (covered behind the piece of plastic in the centre console).

    Is there anything else I need to remove to get the gaiter off? Worried i'll break something

    Or does the whole centre console need to come apart?

    Its not the bolt your looking for!
    Under that little plastic trim in front of the hand brake there will be a bolt (hex head) but there will also be a small hole towards the top of where the little plastic trim piece is. If you stick a small-medium size phillips/posi-drive screwdriver in there you should find a small self taping screw. Once you remove this the thin plastic frame and the gaitor will lift up slide back to remove! It shouldnt be difficult so dont force it...

      And here I was about to remove the rear part of the centre console where the ash tray is

      Cheers!

        All done, thanks re2500.

        Unfortunately after I got the screw out it fell into the cigarette lighter (didn't have the other end in). Needless to say, my interior bulbs don't work anymore

        Could have been worse though!
