Dashboard out

[steveGTT]

Hi how do you take the dashboard out ?

[Bigfoot]

Remove steering wheel
Remove centre consol
Remove cover under steering wheel
undo bolts for steering column
lift up coin flap, remove tray, unscrew screw
two white clips either side of dash, use a long screw driver to release those
Then lift dash up, may need a few friendly taps to lift it up
Once out, unclip the two joining wires behind dash and heater controls

Will also need to unclip the three connector blocks either side behind the kick panels.

How hard is it to take out be way ?

Most difficult bit is unclipping the 3 back clips by hitting dash up. Then fun putting it all back in. Done quite a few of them though. Which need to do another soon when I get a chance

Nasty job, I'd rather change a clutch as find that easier. :crap: :laugh:

I was trying to get a decent dash out the other week and managed to get the drivers side up quite easily by brute force, passenger side would not budge and there is no way to jam something up behind.

I ended up trying to stick my knee under the glove box part to give it a bit more force. Stuck my knee straight through the glove box.:cry: Ruined.

Once the 2 sides are off its easy to pop the middle one.

If you are taking it out with loom attached there are quite a few parts of the loom that need unclipping etc. When you think you have it, there will be something else still connected.

Be careful.
