In fairness you may only need to jiggle out part 61-896
http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... mgno=.html
The fan housing (far right under your hanging controller.) from memory is the two screws on the top (you can see em on that tab bit.) & a bolt to the side of the floor

to remove separately by kind of wiggling it from the side duct to the evaporator & heater housing?? That will just leave the main air con & heater unit with the flaps in to remove.... Bracket from fan unit to the floor pictured here..!

Hi Simon Jay, cheers guys Jay the upright section should be easy there is a lot of play in it and it actually lifts up and clears the housing, so Simon I don't think I will have to take any more trim off,

I think there is a third floor bracket you have not exposed under the after-market flooring far right..?

You'll probably be ok. I didn't have the luxury of a sodding great hole cut out of my panel through which to remove it

. Watch out for coolant and A/C oil when you lift it up as it will dribble out the holes below.

I'm going to be a bit cocky here,

& air on just removing the top part of the heater housing by removing the multiple fiddly clips then replacing the evaporator in situ....? That way you still have a drivable vehicle without the arse end of the coolant system removed too...!??

Yep these 61-A09's are a pain especially on the outer skin side....

Take it slow & steady either way, the heater housing isn't that "robust".....

Are they plastic or metal I am thinking of making a tool to un clip them and hold them so the don't drop down

METAL... It maybe a little easier to retrieve them if they do drop when the top half of the heater housing is removed..?? I don't know.. A magnet ended rod will pull to anything down there...!

I think from memory.... I kind of scooted anything i dropped down there to the right hand side with a stick & because the fan housing alone was removed, i could get my hand in the sill cavity space & retrieve....?

but why two different prices & P&P for the same item nearly £18 difference
