Removal of Dash around heater vents and stereo etc.

[Tibbsy]

Hi,
I'm tryin to remove the dash surrounding the stereo , hazards button etc. I've taken the allen screws from the bottom of it and the four behind the stereo, but it still won't come off, it feels like there's another screw or two somewhere in the middle of it but I can't find them.
Can anyone help???

Thanks

Screws

There is a screw under the central knob (the one that control fan speed), just pull out the knob.
There are other 2 screws on each side of the dash buttons, one to the left of the button that turns on front fog lights, and one to the right of the one that calls temperature to the odometer. You will have to remove the whole thing, with all the buttons, and unplug from behing.

Msg me if i was unclear.
I have removed that dash, many times..

Screw locations

I found the screw behind the fan speed knob but i broke the screw lug in the process!!! but i'm not sure where the other one's are that you are talking about? Are they on the piece that holds the rear fog light and demister buttons?? i don't have front fog lights you see I did try and lever off the little pieces on either side of the switches but I was afraid to use too much force in case I broke them!! I'm tryin to get at the lightbulbs for the heater controls as they have gone. They're not the only one's gone cos the speedo and rev counter lights are half gone too!! Needless to say it's melting my head to be honest You can mail me if you're not too sure whereabouts I'm talking about and I'll send you on a drawing of it.
Thanks for the help

Bulbs

My heater bulb has gone too, but I havn't got as far as even getting the radio out (is this necessary?). When you've managed to change the bulbs can you post here how you managed it please. I for one would be very grateful!

Here's what I've found so far

There's 2 screws at the bottom left and right of the dash and then there's four behind the stereo. Then if you pull out the knob for the fan speed in the middle there's a screw behind that, after that I'm lost I can't get to the other screws wherever they are. The last bloke said there was some behind the fog light/demister switches but I can't get them out

It's getting to the stage where I'm going to rip to shaggin thing off soon!

fog light/demister screws

You can remove the bits of plastic either side of the switches, I think the screws are behind them. It's amazing what you find when you're waiting in a car park
