Hey thanks for the write up. I just used it tonight and it really went quick. I added one additional note in bold.

1. Removing instrument cluster
a. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery.
b. Switch on the hazard warning light switch (button comes out). On the sides of the button, there are small openings that project beyond the dashboard insert.
c. Insert two small screwdrivers into the openings and pull off button A towards the front.
d. Unclip the collar from the dashboard insert. (SO JUST WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?)

What this means is that you need to remove the bezel or (the "collar") that surrounds the hazard switch. The bezel is press fit into two plastic retainer clips on either side of the switch. These clips hold the bezel in VERY firmly. The simplest way to remove the bezel is to look for a rectangular opening on the right inside edge of the Bezel. Insert a large blade screw driver into the opening. Also insert a large blade screwdriver the opening directly across from the first one. Pull on both screwdrivers and the bezel slides straight out. It take some firm pulling to remove, but the Bezel will pop out. This technique will not damage your leather covering.

e. The hazard warning light switch B is held in the dashboard insert by two locking hooks.

f. Press the right locking hook towards the switch, grip the button holder with a pair of pliers and pull out the switch towards the front.

f. Undo 5.0 x 30 Torx (T20 on mine) screw on the dashboard insert.

g. Pull off microphone plug on the left side. To remove the plug use a paperclip that has been bent into a small hook, insert through the mesh and gently pull it out.


h. You will then find the Torx Screw about 1.5cm inside. Undo the 5.0 x 30 Torx screw. Mine was a T20

i. Unclip the dashboard insert and disconnect the electrical plug connections. To remove you need to press in the locking tabs before you can push the release levers (grey) up. The Connectors then selr remove as you push the release levers up.

i. Detach the instrument cluster from the dashboard insert and remove it.
