RE-FIT DASH IN REVERSE ORDER AS TAKEN APART

MFD DISPLAY
START
push vents down facing ground like so
push flat small screwdriver in without scratching dash
pop them down,you will know when its done
prise the sides of each vent with the screwdriver
(be careful not to scratch dash)
pull vents towards you
inside there are 2 screws(1 in each vent)
remove these
pop mdf up
turn it round and fit new bulbs
(you can take lead out but i found it easier to use pliers)

LEAVE IT APART AS YOU NEED IT FOR HEATER PANEL TO BE LOOSE
-----------------------------------------------------------
CIG LIGHTER
START
4 screws on ash tray(1 in each corner)
remove these
disconnect ash tray and dissconnect the bulb

RE-FIT AS TAKEN APART

HEATER SECTION
(be patient with this as its the hardest bit)
START
with the mfd still off and the 2 top screw inside the vents undone
time to move on
take the little button off the heater panel
then the plastic section
you will see 2 screws behind
remove these
next is heater knobs
outside 2 just pull off
middle ones abit more tricky,place a flat screwdriver into gap and carefully prise it off ( dont snap the clip )
remove the hazard cover
the heater section should feel loose now :)
pull it out a little bit
and remove 3 clips near top
the heater panel is now FREE,be patient as it wont just come off in your hands.it will need abit of pulling and being careful will help
then you will see where the bulbs go
if you have bulbs there,they look like this
fit your new bulbs
then put dash back together
