Misson complete, headunit fitted, its funny how a very simple job such as this never turns out to be simple, thought i had the right pullers for the old broken unit, they were right shape for sure but slightly too wide, after much swearing and attempted bodging i resorted to a little more direct approach... careful not to damage the centre console, i ripped the face off the broken one, pliers out to bend the casing enough so i could stick the pullers in place and it pulled out easy...

fitted the sony unit without a drama all good and functional i can now listen to music happily without having to constantly fiddle with the damn thing to keep it working.
