After recently shelling out for a new water pump (and therefore timing belt change) and full service + MOT, my heart sank when I realised the CC was blowing lukewarm air while set to 'minimum' temperature.
Five minutes spent on google/cliosport search and I have the full solution!
Thanks for the information and pics guys - presumably it's an LHD car pictured on page 2 - as it makes the upper bolt look rather more accessible than it is!
That bloody steering column is a nightmare! The clutch/brake pedals in your face don't help either.
I opted for twin cable ties for the repair - the first one didn't have much effect on it's own, but pulling the second (placed right around the outer edge) with pliers as hard as poss seemed to tighten things up nicely. Fingers crossed it'll last.
In the end I took the motors off the panel to get the splines back in, but I had to settle for just one bolt on the upper motor as I didn't have the right combo of socket extensions to get enough depth while still clearing the steering column. It seems to be in snugly enough for now though, I'll have to get a suitable mini extension bar to finish the job.
I'm very happy to report another successful (and virtually cost-free) fix!
Bolts are all 8mm
You mean 6mm?
