mines a v reg, should be the same model i think, theres a lever under the steering collumn, on the left i think.. that pops it then theres a little lever again, under the front of the bonnet to one side of the pug badge, the right of it i think, only an inch or two to one side of the other of the badge.

you have to remove front panel ,bumper rads o/s driveshaft and front leg batty box and lots of small cable holder and will come out through the front it takes some time but will come out without taking engine

jack the van up on axle stands.remove the wheel.you will have to leave the van in gear and put something in front of the front wheels to stop the van moving.dont engage the handbrake.remove the wheel place it under the axle as its much cheaper to replace a wheel than an axle should the van fall off the stands.remove the 2 wheel locator pins theese are 11 or 12 mm i think.now you need a hammer and a piece of wood.using the hammer to hit the wood, hit the drum on the inside lip.the amount of force you will use will depend on wheather the drums siezed or not.

Using a screw driver, remove any screws in the door panel as well as removing the clips. Pull the panel gently away from the door frame, remove any wire connectors and pull the panel off the rest of the way.

If the problem is that the inside door slider is stuck in the down position then it's probably that the rocker mechanism attached to the outside handle (just behind the slider) is rusty and the rocker won't drop when the outside handle is lifted and released. Remove the door trim: Torx screws hold on the armrest and door pocket and the other plastic parts just pull off; and prise off the trim, getting your fingers close to each of the plastic poppers. Spray penetrating oil into the top corner of the door and work the rocker free.

not sure if a partner is the same but I asked the same question to a dealer regarding the 407 SW rear wiper arm as mine was not positioned correctly and was told they could only be removed by breaking off and replaced with a new arm!

You can use an old credit card to make the tool. Just cut it in the shape of the tool shown on the picture. That's how I removed my radio

Hope this helps

it will be easier to fit if you remove the front wheel next to the belt. there are two pulleys without slots they should be outside the loop . the left one is the stretcher, you should use a wrench as a lever to release the tension while fitting the belt, it's very easy

if you have a helping hand just to release the stretcher it very simple
