Yes mate,from inside the engine bay look at the fuse box.The sides of the fuse box need to be pulled apart slightly so that the part all the fuses are pushed into can be lifted up and out of the fuse box.With this out of the way you will then be able to look into the fuse box and see 3 screws.These have rubber washers between the base of the box and the cars metalwork to stop water getting into the car around the screws,dont lose them if you can held it!!Regards,Micky

The fuse box can only be removed with the entire loom though, just incase you didn't know.......
