Tweeter remover - this gives access to the fixing screws under the screen (take care not to mark the plastic - it's easy to end up with scratches).

After removing the glove box - unclip the HVAC controls and remove the bonnet release. (One cable connect to the white box on the right - just out of shot). The bonnet release is out of shot at the top.

These two connectors (blue and white, shown with dash removed) are behind the panel below the steering column. remove the panel and unclip the connectors (these are for the meter / heater controls).

This is a general view of the dash area after removal. There are three fixings under the screen, one at either side behind the speaker covers and one below the stereo.

Here you can see the column is unbolted from the dash cross member, this helps move the stalks out of the way when passing the dash over them.

Here is the removed dash - you dont need to remove the heater controls or meter.

Removing the meter surround makes the dash easier to pass over the column. I think there are 5 screws for this, 2 above the meter, 2 below the meter and one at the side (by the door vent). There is also a clip between the two centre vents.
