Had my S1 for 3 months and just finished the chassis strip, derusting, rust proofing painting and wax-oiling.

The next job is to fix the noisey vibration that travels through my gear stick when accelerating hard - usually above 3000 rpm.

I have replaced the gear knob - twice. I have run the car without a gear knob and the noise is stil there

Can anyone advise.

Also - I need to replace the cable to the heater valve and would like a new set of controls for the interior. it is the one with the sad dig clock - anyone any ideas for both.

Regards

Roy,

Can this be replaced - Repaired or even accessed. My dash and centre console is one piece. I am considering taking it out to do some work on the heater cables so if it is possible I would like to be prepared.

Lee,

Unfortunately I am a dashboard removal virgin, is it worth the effort or should I get a specialist in for the first time ?
