There's a plastic cover, all you need to do is turn the latch and then it will unhook from above the pedals.

The ODB looks like an old school computer port. It sits up under there, on the gear stick side (not the driver door side).

Thanks heaps Duffy! One more question; the power and eco modes, when using power mode does the car lose fuel effciency the higher i set it? e.g Power7? And the same applies to eco mode, does the car lose power/responsiveness or whatever when in eco mode?

They're sensitivity settings between the throttle and pedal travel.

So in ECO the throttle is less responsive.
In POWER its much more responsive.
ECO1 is the lowest
then unaltered is NORM
then POWER1 - 7 is max.

Put it on ECO 1 and then blip the throttle.
Then put in on POWER 7 and try, You'll notice the difference

I bought a set of angel eye headlights with the intention of retrofitting proper projectors.

Headlights too big for oven. Eh.

Yeah ... I hopefully shouldn't have that problem should I ever get around to it, but I read on 8th that users have had some success with a pry tool and a heat gun :-s

The projectors on that site are meant to be ten fold better, seen photos of ebay vs retrofitsource and its noticable.
