are they like that on all civics? ffs.. there still stuck fast! I managed half a turn but almost gave myself a aortic aneurysm :/ there soaking in wd40 atm but the heads are pretty worn, the screwdriver just slips off one.. not too sure what I'm gonna do tbh. New console is on it's way so they are gonna have to come out!!! lol
Thanks.. I'm really pleased with how it's come clean. Dad had a dog and my vacuum is currently full bag of fur! still bits of it lurking but few more vacuums and it should shift.
Need to find few bits, the ashtray is missing, still toying with the mechanics of changing heater controls for electronic ones. I have a microcontroller and servo on my desk that does exactly what I want..
copied this > http://www.letsarduino.com/project-13-angle-indicator-with-servo-motor-and-5-buttons-an-arduino/ so need to dismantle and see how the servo will connect to the back of the heater controls, I can hide them then in dashboard and wire the buttons of a new panel to the controller.
Not sure which controls I prefer tho.. love the alfa ones
,
or the Mondeo ones
Tho these appeal too
I love the new civic ones but they aren't on a flat plane, I can fashion a new surround for all these, and rewiring them wont be a problem.
The space below the heater controls I'm thinking of using for a 7inch touchscreen monitor for a CarPC.
ambitious I know.. but I love a challenge
thoughts welcome
