It might be the owner more than the phone... But I'm happy to blame the stupid phone. If only the work phone had joined it.

Fanatic as lovely as that looks, you've witnessed my skills with a spatula tonight I think that might be beyond me. Settle for tiffin and a lemon drizzle cake?

If there's cake I'll definitely stay!

Thankfully the taser is kept to hand, and not safely stored in any hidden compartments in the landy.

If there's room for a little one I'll stick around :)

Car might be a bit drafty after that though ... However if I did have something to hide this is the obvious place to use. Full of good ideas me :)

Very kind of you Ratty! Since I left work earlier today.... So I had a flashing steering wheel every time it rang!

Going to the butcher for more steak?!

If I was blue Peter enough to have double sided tape I probably wouldn't be in this mess... I shouldn't be left unattended with heavy machinery!

Yeah it'll move slightly.... I think a long pair of tongs would work wonders if they were small enough. There's a lot of stuff in there that gets in the way of trying to move anything. Probably quite important stuff too...so I can't be too rough with it... It's right at the back of there, there...

I tried to encourage it to come out with various driving methods... But it seems firmly in place. I can take it in to the mechanic tomorrow - not worth calling breakdown out for it. Pretty sure there are people actually in distress who need them, not just perplexed people like me! I imagine...

No.... It looks as though it should just pop off - there is a definite edge and movement to it. And from what I can see in the gap that would be the only way to get in the. Unless you can go in from under the peddles? In which case a professional not a blonde with a spatula needs to do that !

Right that hasn't worked.... Jimmying the panel seems to be closer to pulling the airbag bit off than providing any access.... It seems to put up with my driving so must be reasonably tough.... :)

Found a coat hanger, a carving fork and different shape wooden spatula.... So I'll give those a go and report back. If not the mechanic is going to have a good giggle when I take it in tomorrow....!

Sorry I just feel really annoyed with myself. I can't find anything on line to show me what panels come off where. You know if you want to move the steering wheel up or down? It's that gap there. I have the steering wheel up quite high ( I'm rather short). I've tried to move it around, but...

Thank you td5. Trying to find the tongs.... Spatula didn't work!!

I only came here because you are all experts on the car, I've not had it long and didn't want to start pulling it apart without knowing what I'm doing. Strangely enough the mech's phone number is on the phone or I'd ring him. I have no idea how it managed to do so, didn't even know there was...

Apparently so! I have absolutely no idea how it got under there - the gap doesn't seem big enough.... Annoyingly I usually have it in the charging cradle on a long drive, so it can't fly anywhere....the one time I forget...!

So you may have seen my post in the general section- new here - I'm just looking to understand how I can get to the compartment under the steering wheel. Managed to lodge my phone under there and can't for the life of me get it out. There seems to be a panel on the driver door side? But I'm...

No it wasn't in my hands it's on blue tooth. I don't touch it while driving. It was in my hoodie pocket. I don't quite know how I've managed it - doubt I could do this trick twice!
