    4 centre bolts, and the front and rear bolts that U can't see, need an extension bar to get to. Leave the front and rear bolts that U can see.

    Blew out the blocked washer nozzles at passenger side and rear window-am I a happy man. Its good to be able to clean without smearing!
    Used my compressor to do it and a little bit of clean/alignment with a needle, man is the front(watever its called) cover over the front squirty nozzles a pain to get off!

    Fitted a new alternator, it seems to start better already. I guess a cold start tomorrow morning will tell all.

    VX SS (Original owner).
    I have been overseas for 5 weeks, the SS has not been started in 5 weeks and the battery is just on 7 years old, so my big one for the day was to see if it would fire up, turned the key started first pop. Don't know what to do with this battery whether to bite the bullet and buy a new one or see how long it will go for.
    Battery is nothing special just an Excide 460cca fitted in June 2006.

    asked a locksmith about getting a new doorlock cut so I only have to have 1 key for ignition and door instead of 1 for each.
    locksmith said go speak to another local locksmith, as they only cut keys and what not (part of another business) and see what they could do.
