5. unscrew the fuse box from the facia assembly by just unscrewing the bolt and leave it hanging

 

6.remove the headlight beam adjuster assembly from the left of the steering coloumn taking care of the plastic as it easily breaks if you force it.

7.open the glovebox and unclip the glovebox insert and remove it.

 

8.now remove 2 retaining screws which are located in the instrument cluster area where there is a black metal thing and in the glovebox area besides the heather exact.

 

9.now remove all the lower retaining screws there should be around 6 screws.

 

10.now there are 6 bolts in the engine bay, 2 lower ones which are located on each side and 4 upper ones with the insulation plates. they can be pretty hard to remove and if the nut keeps unscrewing and doesnt loosen up like mine did. get a pair of pliers and hold the bolt from behind.

11. now all you have to do is remove the whole dashboard by pulling on it. it will be a bit hard at first, but it will come out.

 

12. you're all done, enjoy a beer ! :):)

2.remove the steering wheel by removing the bolt.

Actually the bolt is a M14 nut.

 

This step is missing from the guide.

Hey thanks jonnycilia for finally posting your work as you promised. I need to do the same some time later 'cause I have some water coming inside when it rains heavily so I will be using a good sealant where needed. Thank you Ricardo for the hi-res pictures.

Brisky Staff are constantly in awe of the in depth knowledge that flows in abundance within the Classics section.

It is good to know the Staff keeps reading this section with a curious eye. Otherwise the silence is total. No interest, no appreciation. Just hit and run.
