Ian C Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 There is a picture or two on here somewhere that shows just how much of the interior needs to come out to get at the thing to change it. I may pay 1k if mine ever needs doing. Although saying that I probably won't and I'll do it myself -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
