Hi
Yes, it's there all right...behind the rear wheel, there's a gap between the outer panel and a box section ....if you run your hand up the boxy bit, you'll feel the hole....I took the rear trim panel out a year or so back and had a poke round when I was doing a waxoyl topup....surprised not to find it clogged with fag packet cellophane, pocket fluff, and mouse nests :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers

(but nevertheless useful to someone else who may have wanted to ask the same question but been afraid of looking silly )
The only silly question is the one you don't ask :wink: (this does not apply to under 5's and folk who require to have their name and address sewn into their clothes)

Hi
Yes...I had it earmarked for cabling, but I'm not bothering with the gadget I was going to add (kenlowe heater).....just won't drive in the really cold weather :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Now that you've found it, it's something else to keep clear of rubbish, like the rain channel over the front heater :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ....it really is a superb place for mice to get in!!!!!
Cheers

Do you think the vent panel at the back would make a good access point to hide a small travel safe.... would there be enough space in there?....mmmm.. :-k

Alison... remember not to get paranoid about the puddle :wink:

There's quite a lot of room there, who was it that put the pics up of their EHU installation there?

Yer rear AC gubbins is behind/below the panel opposite the sliding door.. It just recirculates what is in the back... Sucks air from the rear cabin in, & blows back out.. Hot or cold.
