Hiya, thanks for your advice. I’ve unscrewed all the screws without too much trouble but it’s still stuck fast. I’m worried it’s attached in some other way from underneath. Maybe it just needs some WD40 down the sides and some persistance. I’m not sure I’d fit underneath to have a look without jacking it up.

Yes, this Midi is still alive…just. Judging by how hard parts are to come by it may be the only one left 🙂

Kerb crawling
Hello again

I might suggest that you find a high kerb in a quiet cul-de-sac and bounce the front wheels up onto it for a few extra inches of ground clearance when you crawl under. Put a brick or something behind a back wheel, handbrake on and leave it in gear – that would be a lot safer than a jack anyway. You should be able to locate the stub of the table fitting with reference to the inside and the light of a good torch. It’s probably just held by age and possibly a bit of sealant, so a blunt screwdriver carefully tapped underneath the lip and pried around would do the trick – but it’s wise to check first.

Yes, I was having real trouble getting parts for the Midi’s almost 10 years ago – Vauxhall were useless and even scrapyards used to say they hadn’t seen one in ages…

Good luck
