It only se...

Fuses

I am having trouble getting into the fuse box in the driver's foot well, is it easy to get the cover off? I feel as if I am going to break something by prising it off. but can see no screws holding it on.
Am I correct in trying to remove the cover on the left side of the well beside the clutch pedal?

Re: help before Fiday please

Problem is he claims the plug was corroded and fell apart when he removed it, I presume if I had put it into mr T they would have replaced the plug and charged me for it.

Going to do the clutch and timing belt myself

I posted this a few months ago and got some really positive feedback but can't find the posts, I have now got access to a garage and a friend to help and the time to do it so any advice as to any special tools or tricks would be appreciated.

Cheers
