Right, well I give up!  :(
Just had another go, only took ten minutes to get the panel out, but I just can't get my hand in to undo the looms, looks like I'll be doing without until I can find someone with "nimble" hands!

Had my panel out a couple of weeks ago, I now have heat in the car :y

But I noticed one of the bulbs has gone off, got some more bulbs and I am halfway through getting the panel out.
My hands are freezing so I have left it in the garage and will finish off tomorrow.

I found it easier to remove all of the switches, they just pull out, reach in through the radio hole and the 3 wiring blocks pull down and slide off.

2 blocks at the top, unlip and pull off, then the ashtray light, and cigarette lighter connection off and hey presto, whole panel out :y

The more times you do this the easier it gets.

Hope you manage it, isn't it great owing an Omega :-/

But I love the comfort, wafting along in armchair comfort, it will do for me!

Thanks but mine doesn't have the two connectors at the top, which is what I was expecting.
I may try again, but like you said it was too cold............

If you're passing down my way Bo Bo, I can give you a hand...

Failing that, you need the special tool known as a 'Tunnie' ;D

I wondered how long before TB's favourite VX service tool got mentioned.

Just got all the bulbs replaced and all back together.

Now I not only have heat in the car, but all lights working :y

Got quoted £231 for new heater controls fitted by VX main stealer, £36 for full centre console off ebay, bought new bulbs, fitted myself with help from guys on this site/

Not a bad saving, methinks!

Hope you get yours sorted mate ;)

Take it easy
