   got to get my bonnet fusebox out the way for rust treatment underneath. Appart from disconnecting the battery its just a case of unplugging things to the back of the fusebox right. There's no set sequence or anything i am missing is there? Talk about sounding an idiot huh!

   No just disconnect the battery, the unbolt it and unplug. To be fair you might not even need to unplug anything, just shift it over

   as above - you probably can just unbolt the fusebox itself and move it - it's reasonably flexible. Saves having to disconnect all the separate cables.

   if you do have to disconnect them, its a simple job. 10mm nut thats fed from the battery is under a little hinge, then flip it over and pull the two yellow tabs. the wires should just pop out then with a little pull, and they're all different shapes so can't go wrong!
