Amongst other issues the alarm receiver unit on my TD5 has packed up. I believe the unit is located somewhere in the roof lining. I have no Sunroofs so its going to be a bu**er to get out.
Can anyone give me a clue on the cost of replacing it or/and how to go about it without recking the roof lining. Thanks

1- Release rear door upper trim finisher
2- Remove 3 Torx Bolts securing rear headrest, remove headrest, then repeat other side
3- Fold rear seat forward
4- remove tail door aperture upper trim casing
5- release caps from end of Grab Handle
6- remove 2 bolts securing Grab Handle to body
7- remove grab handleand collect the spacers
8- remove 8 trim clips securing trim casing to body
9- remove the seat bet esctcheon for the dixie seats
10 remove cap from lower anchorage of third seat belt
11 remove lower anchorage bolt
12 release rear interior lights

F**k me it's less work to remove engine and dog boxes.

I dropped the headlining out of my old Disco Td5 - what an absolute bastard of a job!!

It is doable on your own though, and again Haynes lied and said I'd likely damage it. Just keep your temper - I came close to just ripping it out on more than one occasion.
