A problem with my knob
Hey, me again. This time I've got a problem with my knob. There's a hole in the end.
I've attached a picture of my knob for you all to see. Please take a moment to look at my knob.
OK, knob jokes aside for a moment... the indicator bit was broke when I got the car. Never seen the individual bit on eBay... am I looking a whole new gear knob or can I get the replacement plastic bit off Pug or someone? That servicebox thing just confused the hell out of me...
Hehehe... "knob"

Your knob can be fixed Swiss!
That top bit just sticks on; grab one from a breakers as your easiest option.

Hmm, I could swing past Silverlake on Friday... only trouble is I tend to go in with a shopping trolley and just load up. It's actually pretty
to see all those dead 406s...

By all accounts you must pull on the knob end, not twist it
