Hi all
I'm in need of a little help on this one
Recently a friend got in my car and knocked the choke lever with his knee and the small metal retaining clip sprung off and fell onto the passenger footwell. I have tried endlessly to fit my hands through tiny gaps to re fit it. But I can't for the life of me do so
Is there an easier way to re attach the clip before I end up breaking something??
Thanks
Josh

  Drop the heater, the front of it is only held up with 2 screws.  Just don't let its weight hang on the hoses.

If you look under the dah rail you should be able to see the screws on the heater. It should swing down as the back is just a bar over a hooky thing, I think.

Right I have dropped the heater and had a look
Turns out the plastic on the back of the knob has broken off
Will I need a new cable?

  Yes, your mate who broke your car will need to buy you a new cable!
