Garage List
I did the obd relocate this morning. Was simple enough.

Remove sill trim - pulls off.
Remove under (pedal area) dash trim - 3x torx screws.
Unscrew bonnet release handle - 1x screw.
Remove kick panel trim - one more screw.
Remove obd port - 2x screws.

Relocate somewhere hidden, either hard wired or use an extension lead. If the latter, make sure you secure the join and hide it up in the dash somewhere. The obd plug can be now put anywhere that your cable length allows.

Just make sure your dealer or mechanic knows where it is if he needs to! My local dealer is going to hate me when they realise what you have to do to get to it!!
