The entire dash or just instrument cluster?

The Dash Facia is pretty easy.
Firstly you need to remove the head unit. This is done with some Eurovox keys. There is another thread on that. You then need to remove the shifter sorround. In the little section where your power adapter is in the centre you'll find a rubber mat. Remove that and under there are 2 screws. Once they're undone the piece is only clipped down by 2 clips either side in between the shifter and the window controls. It may take a bit of persuation to come away but it will. Then you need to remove the panel below the dash on the drivers side, this just swings away. There are about 5 screws under there which hold the dash in place. There are two screws above/infront of the instrument panel that also need to come out. Once you remove them, and the other two that are revealed when you remove the shifter sorround it just unclips as you pull it awy. As things come away you need to unplug them to give you more room. That's pretty much it from memory. You will see what I am trying to explain as you do things...
Any questions just ask
Cheers,
Robbie

Thanks Robbie, do all the climate control etc stay in the surround when you pull it off, or do they need to be removed separately ?

No dramas..
The climate control won't come out with the facia but pretty much everything else does, headlight switch, hazard lights, air vents, Your trip computer switch. They can all be taken out once it is removed.. they neatly clip into the facia...
So if you remove the stereo prior, and then the climate control will stay in. The Electric windows come out with the dash as well and you can just unclip those really easily.
