I have done them before by removing the wheel and tapping the centre cap out from behind with the soft end of a screwdriver.

There may be an easier way (I.e. Without taking the wheel off) but I haven't tried any other methods.

HTH's

Enjoy the new DV! If you can post up a picture of your cam follower once it's out you'll be able to get some feedback on how worn it is or isn't.

Sometimes they come out looking perfect. Sometimes they come out looking very sketchy indeed!!

Good luck with the rest of it!

Can I have your old DV if you're just going to bin it?

Also, to remove your old caps just drill a hole dead centre and put the top of a coat hanger in it to pull out. Only way you can do it without damaging alloy face or removing wheel!

Top advice here. Never thought of that :smiley: :happy2:

Thanks Gents.

All yours if you want it for postage Luke. PM me and we can get it sorted.

Not too much to update but planning to do a full service come Sunday.

White number plate bulbs fitted, have done both door modules now as the driver one started playing up too. New wheel centre caps fitted.

Air,pollen,fuel filters, oil and spark plugs along with fresh oil.
Will do Cam Follower at the same time so should be good to go after that.

Managed 39.1 mpg on a run yesterday which I was well happy with. All running well and have some big plans for next year although there is more to follow on this.

Few photos taken on the new 7+ this afternoon. See how good they come out.
