Boo, if my car came of the production line 18 cars earlier I would have got the ATC instead of the manual air conditioning

I have a late mark 2 75 (dec2004) and i noticed that they removed the ceiling nuts where you screw the bars for the roof rack... making thus impossible to mount it... funny thing is that the car still has the plastic covers for the holes

Incorrect!!

If you look again there are caps in the the threads which look like pop rivets. (there to stop threads corroding)

These prize out revealing a nice clean thread 😉

On diesels, the lower engine tie bar heat shield and steering rack heat shield were both deleted.

On rear door cards, the screw in the upper rear corner was deleted and the fir tree clip EKM100270 (again in the rear upper corner) I think was replaced with a standard clip like the others holding the door card (makes changing the door card easier!).IGNORE!

These changes occurred by 9th October 2002 but not in the Drive Bulletins or shown in the parts list.

Hmm, I was sure this rear door card had never been disturbed before.

I'll report back when I've done the other ear door card and see what that side has fitted.

Your correct mate, I’ve stripped loads down and it’s always a fir tree in the top corner, anything else fitted is just a mistake due to things like door solenoid changes and replacing with what they thought was correct I guess, as fir tree clips are single use

Oh well, I'm not taking it off again and I don't have a spare fir tree clip anyway

The screw was definitely deleted, no hole in the later door card or door.IGNORE!

Yep, you are right guys, having looked at my other car and the dates of the rear door trims it appears that there was always just the fir tree in the upper rear corner and no screw from the factory. Sorry, I should have checked more thoroughly before posting.

The heat shields being deleted I am sure is correct.

Mick
The other type are used because Rimmers want £3 each for a genuine fir tree clip
