Anyone got experience of removing their dash?

Any idea how easy/hard it is to do, and how long it roughky takes?

I think its fairly easy just time consuming, ive got to do mine soon and the thing that worries me is all the different fasteners and clips and trying not to break any of the little trim pieces!

Check out the amount of dodgy looking fasteners! pg 8

is eay mate, basic guide, undo connectors i think a couple underneath on the pasenger side remove clocks, centre console front (heater and stereo) then take the trims off the side and top of the dash. think there are 2 bolts in either side (next to a pillars) then 3 along the top under the windscreen and 2 on either side of the centre console on the transmission tunnel.  If the steering wheel is off then it will come out pretty easy. Just pull the dash forward and stick you head underneath and you will be able to see any remainding connectors, the whole dash will come out as one unit don\'t try take the plastic dash off the metal bar that will take you years.
 
give me a shout if you newed any help of if you break anything as i have a complete dash intact here.
