Dash is pretty easy to get out if you take your time. I cant remember exactly how I did it but remove everything that comes off first such as switches, steering wheel, fusebox, dials, temp controls, etc and that will give you an idea of where any fixings maybe. IIRC the dash lifts up to get it off the clips at the back and is also fixed in place with torx screws at the side. Its been a while so probably missed some other fixings. :)

Dash is so easy to temove, i did it in about 15 mins.. hold on have this link

I know it says how to change heater matrix but dash removal is included.

It isn't too hard, just take your time and label the wires if you haven't done a few already. Also pay attention to the route the wires take as when you put the dash back you can get problems with clearances and heater controls opening and closing correctly.
