hi, is there a diagram or info on removing the dash, the vent control has broken off and need to get into it fix it as its bypassing heater and freezing air coming out, thought it was the cable but its intake and still connected at heater end, so put camera down and can see the door has snapped off inside. would not mind if it was passide but its not, cannot find any info of what to take off or location of all the fixtures, can see some bolts behind the dash and glove box,  do i need to take the steering wheel off, i've managed to source a new door mechanism off a old unit but its now just trying to get the thing out to replace it, and at same time think will change some other bits like the core while its out. book is no help at all.

Haynes...

But be warned, you've at least two days work, and that's presuming you know how it comes apart.

If your paying someone else to do it, then you are heading towards a scrap it sized bill...

I've done the parts from that book but still holding on somewhere. The info to remove and replace the door is though top vent and blower vent and prise the clips apart and the top comes off to gain access. It's holding on fast. But cannot see or feel where ? There are metal retaining strips have them removed but must be missing somthing or they used some sort of glue ? Still cannot get the dash to move.

think have found out why the dash wont move, the window seal is holding it in place, so cannot pull the dash away and lift up. had mrs put her arm in as its thinner than mine and she can feel something rubbery around the edge, so think will have to find another way round it to get to the flap, but there is not much room to work with.    any ideas?,
