The rubber round the Aerial has completely disintegrated, where failure to replace it could mean water getting in the Boot/Trunk

Even with the Cover removed where you can see those two big Springs, it never once occurred to me to pull that lever in the other direction!

3 Other Screws hold the side trim in place which can be a bit of a fiddle to get out, so be very careful you don't break it.

This is where you have to be so Careful, if you damage that Printed Circuit, its 'Game Over!' Though in order to pull the Binnacle out, you also have to remove Two Multi Plugs Which are also plugged in to the Printed Circuit where there is just about enough room to be able to get your hands in without too much of a problem

When you put the Binnacle back its easy to drop the Top Screws so without a Magnetic Screwdriver I made up a Screw Holder from a piece of Plastic Tube

Sump Tank + Fuel Pump + Filter Sump Tank Ring can be undone by knocking it round with a Hammer and a piece of Hardwood as a drift and then you can get to the Filter.
