Thanks all. Been trying to remove the tunnel all day. Well their is a golden rivet somewhere acca secret screw.
Removed the prop shaft tunnel removed all screws & some lift a dot fastenings. Knifed through the revolting black mastic, the tunnel will now move all of 1/8 of an inch & no more. In theory it should lift up at the rear & there is about 3/4 in rear movement available before hitting the cross member, but it doesn’t.
Oh well will continue tomorrow. I can see a little play in the cotter pin that holds onto the gear shaft.
Check that the handbrake cable isn't "attached" in some way.
