With the failed attempt to properly fix this dash with plastic welding, which did work very well on the repair, alignment and position was still wrong and I also noticed the attachment on the right to screw the catch release into is also broken away...
The repair attempt...
Despite the efforts I think the fact the catch fixing it broken on the right i have decided to do a full dash swap with another thats not broken. The car needs it.. and deserves it if I want it to work properly.
I retrived a decent glove box and saw that there are small ramps in the catch openings that the release fingers sit against.. the left hand one worked however the right one still didn't and it also made the catch go very stiff which will encourage release lever breakage quicker then they normally do...
Upon further gold dust .. I had a quick look in a shed at my mums .. and to my suprise this was sitting there...
Yes a completely un broken V6 engine cover.. I'm just hoping the rear rubber feet are actually still on the engine.. otherwise that may be a small issue..
