Bit of an odd one but does anybody know what I can use to stick back the wedge shape box in the corner of the floor by the accelerator pedal as it has come loose. Last time a certain noble dealer stuck it back after sealing behind it, it fell down and got wedged behind the brake pedal eek luckily there was just enough throw on the pedal to stop, just as well I didnt need to stop quickly.

That piece usually is glued in place with a urethane body adhesive.

Unfortunately, it has to be pried off if you need to get to the rear bolt on the lower a-arm of the front suspension. A mod is to cut a hole in this piece so that you can get a socket onto the bolt behind it. Cover the hole with a nice plastic cap, which is easily removable whenever you need to retorque the front suspension. Glue the piece back in place with some urethane.

This triangular piece swung round on me and fitted perfectly between the bulk head and the brake pedal. I thought my pedal had locked up. Fortunately I was only doing 10mph and managed to coast into the side. I just glued it back, hasn't moved since
