[V8] Heater Box Woes

[dsaad@icehouse.net]

There are a lot of clips - some are pretty well hidden

There are three (I think) screws that take a very long phillips screwdriver to
get out. Mark which side the screws go in - it is not that obvious two days
later...

Remove the heater flap motor (under the white cover) and remove an "E" clip from
one of the flap shafts.

That is all I can remember.

The Bently for any type 44 should cover this in good detail.
It should always be your primary source. I find that the manual usually covers
this stuff pretty well.
