You can't beat the internet when it comes to sorting out a problem.

Many thanks to the author of this guide, it really helped me out

Thanks

Jackie Abbott -

Thank you for the clear instructions, this is an excellent guide.

Toni-Marie Catchpaw -

Very helpful guide. Thanks for that! Only thing missing was a warning about where the plastic clips were around the body to make it easier to pop those without breaking the plastic tabs on some of them. Even that isn’t all that important really.

Michael King -

Agreed, that would be very helpful
