Removing the dash board
« 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?

So four in total under the bonnet?

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

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.
