How do you remove the little clips to get the scuttle panel off??

As above, its the little plastic ones under the bonnet, i cant get the buggers out! Is there a special tool required ???

Do you mean the black plastic things that you push the middle in then lift out? or do you mean the black plastic nuts that you remove with a spanner\socket ??

Picture would confirm what you mean and then we can answer in more detail

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the scuttle panel the thin plastic piece covering the wiper motor assembly? Having never removed it I can't say for sure what fixings are used.

Ahhh... if thats the case then I've only removed one on a Rover 216 before (bubble) - if its the same on the ZS then its easy - remove wiper blades, pop screw caps out and unscrew screws IIRC....
