The + and - buttons on my unit were looking a bit grubby with fingernail scratch marks and letting the interior down.
Bought a cheap broken unit from Lithuania with good buttons.
Using a feeler gauge at the top of the button the button just flips out. And the replacements just push back in.
No need to remove the radio or the climate control unit.
Took 5 mins and what a transformation.

Ps. If you pay for the fuel I will personally deliver it.
Would love a long drive in my pride and joy but perhaps Africa is a bit too far ???????

It might not be the most efficient trip.
That's over 8500 miles - imagine what the fuel consumption & bill might be.

Visited cape town Durban Botswana port elisabeth orange free state and a few others.

Oh rad! Yeah, I am based in Port Elizabeth. Another user on here is based in Durban. I think you referring to a "braai" otherwise known as a barbecue/barbeque for most of the world.
