Thanks for your efforts but I know the part you are referring to and that's not the part I mean, I've removed that. Once the part you are referring to is removed you will see the plastic housing in which the pollen filter sits, and in the bottom of it are 8 off M5 x20 panhead screws which secure...

I'm talking about the metal housing in which the pollen filter sits, you have to remove the scuttle to access it.

I beg to differ, having tried several.

Yes, the 8 screws that hold each of the pollen filter housings to the body. They are not regular screws as they have a plain unthreaded part at the end of the screw for location purposes.

Does anybody know where I can get the screws from that hold the cabin air filter box housing to the body? I think that they are M5 x 20 Pan head extended tip (dog point) screws. I'm not going to put the old ones back as some were very difficult to get out and rusty.

Yes, sorry.

Thanks for the swift responses gentlemen. It is much appreciated.

I have removed the front drive shaft as the bearings were in very poor condition and need replacement. My question is can I still drive it without a front drive shaft or will it cause problems?

Apologies and thanks to those who have already replied but I realised that my original post did not give any of you reading it enough information to help me so I've added year and engine. I have a new problem which started to manifest itself about a week ago but seems to be getting steadily...

You may be on to something there. I think the wear may have been on the outside.

Thanks for the reply. I've just had a quick look but I can't see a crank vibration damper. My car is a V8 petrol version should it have one?

I have a new problem which started to manifest itself about a week ago but seems to be getting steadily worse. I had a couple of new tyres fitted on the front about a month ago and the tracking adjusted as the old tyres had worn unevenly, I can't remember if it was the outside or inside edge...

Do you have any tips for unblocking them?

Yes, sorry I missed that important piece of information.
