Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

Re: Dash removal
remove radio, find the impossible wingnuts, unscrew and drop them between carpet and tunnel I think. Band-aids are optional

Re: Dash removal
Thanks, done all that but the little black cap on the top just seems to spin around and I dont want to damage it or the dash leather.

Re: Dash removal
It just clips on. Get it a bit warmer and try. You'll then need a very short and/or flexible Pozi/Philips to get the screw out.

Re: Dash removal
The black clip is just a cover - a bit like the type used for number plate screws. Pop it off and there will be a good size screw underneath.

Re: Dash removal
Thanks for the help, still working on the aircon installation. Had to move a few things around under the bonnet cos of the v8, on with the more conventional stuff now hence the dash query.
