Do you mean the little plastic pins that break off when you take the footwell pipes off the heater box outlets ?

I seem to remember (memory's a bit vague now) that the plastic pin goes into an insert which clamps it in (can't remember what it's called though). The only way I could get them out was to break them, & the ends fell down the pipes ::)

I didn't bother trying to get the right bits again....I just pop riveted the pipes back onto the outlets, on the assumption that I would never have to repeat the job again ;)
