Has anyone got any links to a good guide for removing OBC’s? Do you need to remove the whole heater panel and the heater control cables etc.?

Look up on here, as I did all this last year with photos! Simple to remove. Patient with the screws to remove the panel is advised! Dont rush this or you will break plastic and that is not good to happen! OBC which type have you got?

Here it is! viewtopic.php?f=2&t=279008&hilit=obc

No cables just knobs to remove! Unpluging wires as well! Radio out first!
