Undo two or three screws holding the cowling, drop the steering rake and unplug. Et voila..
Now now, that's not the point supa :wink:
Why buy a new one when you can fix it? I was in the sh1t when my one broke cos I couldn't get a replacement in time and needed the car, so I took it apart and tinkered! You've probably gathered I enjoy fixing things :lol:
