[bryan1963]

Can someone tell me exactly how to get the cluster out please.
It may well be simple but where do I start ?

Thanks in advance

Why does steering cowl need to be removed

I've never had to remove it when removing the cluster.

May not need removing but I did. Oh well

I'm sure I've managed while leaving it in place, just pulled the steering wheel out to max reach and raked down as far down as it'd go.

no chance(well not on my car) , as the screws are under the cloth stuff, that is under the cowling.... i tried alot on my dads one so didn't bother with mine just got stuck in, only took me 10 minutes

Ah right, I found with wheel pulled out on full reach that the fabric cover thing could be pulled up from under the shroud.
