0 Glenderg Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Paul, on the mark 1's, poke a screwdriver into the opening on the gangway corridor and push in and up. This will pop the roof ajar. Remove and everything else will fall apart easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Glenderg Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Is that at the top or bottom of a Lima coach, the rectangle above the circle. Pop the screwdriver in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 burnthebox Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Now that I'm back from the Hospital having had the screwdriver removed from my hand, got 27 stitches, tetanus injection, blood pressure & temperature checked, the nurses were great, being very careful, I'll be able to use the screwdriver again next week, anyway glenderg you got an easy one, my lima has no rectangle above the circle, cos there is no circle, by the way I'm only joking about the hospital, really, helps to lighten the mood, and thanks guys Edited July 8, 2014 by burnthebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
