Looked everywhere else but can't find it. How does the radio come out please?

Hi

If its a standard radio either side of it will be two vertical strips about 5mm wide, these lift out with a small flat blade screw driver to reveal some holes, radio removal keys/tools slide down these and then you lever to release their grip to remove. The keys are the same as used on most late 80's 90's Fords, most car accessory/audio places sell them for a couple of pounds, you can do it with a number of small screwdrivers but can be awkward.

I thought you were on the sofa watching the football at 3.30 yesterday Paul!

A good way of getting the radio out if you haven't got the proper tool is to make a tool using a metal coathanger. Chop two 4" sections off, fashion them both into a U shape, with the straight sides being parallel and the same distance apart as the stereo holes and they will release the clips when inserted.

They should each look like:

Removing the glove box is great, there is loads of room behind there to get your mitts behinds the stereo
