Title: Talking of dash
Post by: miggy on 30 May 2007, 16:44:32
I have looked on the forum search, would anyone have any idea on how to remove the dash on a 52 facelift model, I need to change a few of the small bulbs, I dont want to start poking with a screw driver, thats when things snap.

Thanks

Don't know if Facelifts are the same, but you need to take out the centre moveable air ducts using a butter knife up the side to gently lever them out. Two screws at the back remove the air duct housing. There is then one screw inside which is the end of the dash by the computer, and there is another screw that you can see when you lower the steering column.  :y

Right here we go Miggy, some pics where the screws are on a mini face lift so not sure if yours will be the same. Have been active again today, and i managed to get arrows on the pictures with the help of an 8 and 11 year old ;D
Hope this helps :y
