T5 Reverse Switch Access

[ChimpOnGas]

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me how easy or difficult it is to access the T5 reverse switch?

I know its on the N/S and roughly at same height as the filler plug on the opposite side of the box, but how is the access?

Being on the N/S of the box do I need to drop the exhaust to get at it?

Any photos would also be helpful.

Cheers, Dave.

Done this one recently and it was an exhaust off job purely for ease of access.

Ditto - it's frustrating for what is otherwise an easy job but the exhaust does have to come off.

Thanks guys, I thought it would mean dropping the exhaust

You don't need to take the exhaust right of just slide it back over the rear ARB after 1st unbolting the center D mountings and cock to the side so the open entry is sitting under the passenger seat and the tailpipes sticking right out the rear of the car Griffith style even on axle stands 10 minute job and as much access as you need to get to the little blighter actually its one of Phazed's preferred methods for jobs such as this

Genius!!!

Many thanks Simon (& Peter), its little things like this that make the forum so invaluable.
