Was quoted £65 for a whole dash with consoles and all that, but phoned again today and they said £40 for the dash shell as it were!

I will have to go down and take it out but on a couple of miles down the road!

Seem fair

£40 is a nicer price if you're not making money back on clocks. The dashes themselves are all pretty similar aside from being slightly darker plastic on later models and the heater dial clicking when you spin it.

You'll need the scuttle off and wiper mech, possibly also brake servo out of the way to get to the bolts in the engine bay though, there's three go through the bulkhead middle and either side about 6 inches in from the wing.

Also - is the steering wheel off?

You'll need steering wheel puller then, they don't generally come off in your hand.

Tool for getting the steering wheel off, hooks in the holes and you usually screw a thread and it'll pop it off. They're very difficult to remove otherwise.

I just pulled & pulled & pulled til the Punto one came off.
Nothing abit of brute strength & ignorance won't fix, just ask Adam Kindness about his corsa dash
