   Hello Everyone
   
   I'm trying to unclip the power steering pump power feed cable on a 2001 1.1 Saxo, but i cant work out how to undo the clip.
   
   It's a black connector with a red clip on the top. It looks like the red clip should lift up or push down and then free the connector but i can't work it out so it is making it harder.
   
   Does anyone know how to undo the red clip?
   
   Thanks for any help.

   I've not had a 1.1 and no one will really be able to advise without a picture to see what you're dealing with...
   However there are a few clips like this (if I'm thinking of the right thing), i.e the lambda plug on the VTS models, and if it's the same the red part needs pulling out, away from the connector if that makes any sense?
   Grab hold of the plug and find the edge of the red bit with the notches on, it should just pull out.
