Hi, i tried to remove my dash today so i could get it ready for the inside shell spray. I cannot get the bugger out. I have heard it is tricky. Can anyone provide some pics of where the bolts and screws are? Or a detailed description? Would be much appreciated.
I have looked through the forums but anything that contains "remove dash" is patchy explaining bits and bobs and not the whole lot.
Could be one for the stickie....

Thanks, Dan

There are 2 bolts inside the door shuts on the side - about 5 under the bonnet - remove your scuttle panel etc and you will find them (think they are 13mm) then remove the centre console and there will be a bracket behind there with a screw through a bracket onto the floor - their the main ones i can think of

Un-done the 13mm nuts,
Top of the dash pulled through, still joined in though.....

Steering wheel is off, all other visible screws and bolts seem to be off....

2 at the bottom of the dash near the fuse board - 13mm nuts? DONE

2 torx screws each side of the dash - DONE

theres 2 brackets attached to the top of the steering column 2 13mm bolts - These also behing the scuttle panel? DONE

And it still wont pull out

It seems joined by nothing at all near the fuseboard. It seems joined to the black metal bar, but nothing seems to be joining it, its strange! ?
