it's a pain in the ass mate.
the door cards i mean, i did mine this weekend.

take ashtray out, there is a screw behind it.
remove speaker
there are 3 10mm nuts inside the door, first one is to the left of speaker which is easy, the other two are a pain. you basically just need to feel around and try to get a spanner on them. i would tie some string on the spanner as if it's dropped it would be a pain to get.

centre console on mine was only held on with one screw under the little compartment at the rear, then it just needed edging over the handbrake

The last bolt is a bugger, towards the rear of the car...

Reach in with your hand going in an up wards direction and then as you get more of your arm in, bring your hand towards where the bolt is.

Took me 4 goes until I got the knack - second door card took 10 minutes..

Let us know how you get on smile

Sorry for the tardy response, Garfys - no speakers, you say?

That is wierd - checked the 8ible again, and it reads as if all have speakers....

Feel along the botton of the door card and see if any self tappers have been screwed (up from the ground type angle) through the bottom of the door card.

Other than that, I am flummoxed!

Good luck!
