There are 2 screws in the lower console (around transmission) on either side of the cigarette lighter (just take out the rubber mat). Pull that section towards your body it should unclip straight away very easily... the unclip your power windows controls from the loom.

To take out the upper section you should have another two screws holding it in... your dash cluster... unscrew, then unclip the upper fascia from around the cigarette lighter upwards slowly... it should all unclip easy. Then unclip all the controls from their looms.... then take out the controls themselves from the fascia....

I did it all without instructions it took about 5 minutes to do it, and its damn hard to damage it even if you don't know what you're doing

Sorry to change topic, but can someone tell me, on my dash it seems the section of water temp and the bottom lcd for kilometers per 100k(on RHS) are not lighting up. Is it just a matter of removing and replacing the globes at the rear ?

Yes, but you have to remove the dash surround to get at the cluster.

Is it just globes, or is it a matter of soldering led's etc.
