Hi,
I removed my front facia yesterday to replace the stereo that was in the car with my own one...no real performance improvement but I know how it works and was struggling with the previous radio unit - clearly hitting random buttons didn't do the same thing so it had to be replaced!
So I unscrewed the gear lever knob and that allowed me to remove the gearstick cover, which in turn allowed me to remove the front facia...got the stereo replaced (and have now lost the boost gauge, oil gauge and air flow gauge as I'm unsure if the red wire is standard for power on all head units...unsure where I should plug these gauge controls into on the new head unit wiring!) and everything back in place...but my gearstick knob didn't remain tight on the gear stick and now spins a bit freely...so if I tighten it up the leather cover spins round and the knob doesn't sit at the 12 o'clock position...in fact it is now at the 7 o'clock position...any suggestions on how to get the gear stick back to the 12 o'clock with it firmly in place to stop it spinning???
Thanks.
