Title: Removing the dash board
Post by: molegti on 02 February 2012, 16:18: Today I successfully changed the heater matrix but unfortunately didnt refit the ducting at the top. Since I had such a job getting it re-alighned refitting clip hoses etc. I really cant face the prospect of undoing it. I though it might be a better idea to pull the dash loose so I can lift it to get some clearance.

This is where im stuck and dont want to break anything (else). I've undone the two screws and the side and two near the wiper linkage. What am I missing?

I've removed two kind of either side of the wipe linkage already.

Post by: molegti on 02 February 2012, 17:42: I found the ones on the soide of the dash no problem and didnt have too much bother with ones under the scuttle. Once i stop aching from doing the heater matrix ill have a look.

Post by: X4MGS on 02 February 2012, 17:47: as eaglejam said the're are 3 others on the front you need to have the undertrays, centre console removed to help ease it out....

Post by: molegti on 07 February 2012, 10:08: Coundn't find the screws but in the end the ducting went back in just using the wriggle room with having a loose dash.
