[gtmatt]

No, just reach up behind the fusebox area and youl feel them :)

And for the battery tray cant get to the nuts , so how do i take the dash out ??:)

matt you CAN remove the battery tray without removing the dash, if a hefty fuker like me can im sure you can too:D i did however scream my frustation at the 5 while i was doing so:D

what i did was unscrew the all the fuses and stuff and moved them to the side abit, i then sat out side the passenger side and sort of yoga'd my arm up behind the dash.

Any chance u know about how i can get the door pins out of the hinges ??:)

:agree:,yep bit of a pig,but you can get a ring spanner on them easily
enough,they are a fair way up behind dash,so you think you have
reached far...then reach a little more,they are located where the
bulk head changes to an angle.

Been doing my test this weekend. I gave up. The nuts are in line with the bonnet release wire but mine were covered with about 2cm of soundproofing which I couldn't get behind:
