Re: Engine diagram

Thanks Brian.

In the bottom righthand corner in front of the black label on the suspension strut there is a black lidaround 4"x9". To remove it there are two 'press in tabs'. just to be sure the lid has a black pipe going across the top corner. What is there if you open the lid please.

Re: Engine diagram

Thats fine and thanks but I should have been a bit clearer in what I wanted.
If I look doen on the engine bay there are a number of 'items'. One for example is the oil cap, another might be the power steering reservior etc. Is there a plan that shows what they are?.

Thanks.

I have one of the above (cd version) and the digital display 'breaks up' .

As an example 909 might look like POP or MAGIC might look like N8H1C. Something like that anyway.

Anyone had this problem and cured it without buying another one. Wondered if there was a fixing kit available.
