As some of you are aware i've been bringing my beloved 325sport back to life after she was written off. the bulk of the work is now done. :woohoo: ie. not bent and all one colour again. mmmmmmmmmm silver.
so all i have to do now is refit the dash, seat , carpets and body kit.
i know how all the bits i took off go back on. yes thats right refitting is revers of removal. :shoot1:

but there are a few bits i didn't remove. :clin:
so i need to know what this is and where it goes. all i know is it has to be some where around the A frame/ under dash area on the drivers side.

as always thanks in advance.
i really need my sport back on the road.i just NEED IT.

I believe that is the central locking control unit - it goes behind the speaker panel in the drivers side footwell (I think! )

It fits inside the gap below where the speaker is fitted - as if you are slotting it inside the sill cavity.

Smaller box is the interior light delay unit, and should be fitted on the same metal bracket.
