• The disconnection photos are HERE

The following are additional bits found by another owner (trick John from Pistonheads) during his body lift of an S3C, so may be applicable to your lift or may not - don't forget they are all different in some way!!!!

1) There was an earth coming from under the boot - which was attached to a stud at the beam in front of the fuel tank - on the same side as the fuel tank connections. I noticed it when undoing the fuel sender.

2) The nasty bolts to find under the eye ball vents in the centre consul - had air inlet tube glued into the body - this had to be removed as I could not undo the bolt as the upward movement started heavy interference between the bolt and tube.

3) Cat tubes going through the boot - needed to be disconnected and pulled through the boot.
