Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well I started it today and its taken me 4 hours to get the Dash completely off, I dont think thats too bad going. Things I've learnt; the loom is bloody attached to the Dash everywhere, with screws facing towards the bulk head where you couldnt even get the smallest screwdriver, so i had to make my own makeshift tool You cant remove the dash without the handbrake taken out You can remove the dash and keep the steering column attached. Next to assess if i think i can get to the actual heater matrix without the crash bar out. Though the crash bar looks easiest bit so far.

JustGav Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Pretty sure you might have to pull the crash bar... Have you disconnected the matrix in the engine bay (yeah I forgot about that the first time as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 why u take it all off:blink: good to know what you are doing:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 No probs regarding the matrix its been disconnected for weeks From taking a look I think thge aircon unit will just catch it as i remove it, Id like to do it without taking crash bar out though. Id rather take aircon into further bits, least then im only messing with one side of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Ohh and while you replied Rob, thanks to everyone who offered to help, but to be honest after starting it, there just isnt enough room for two of you really. Expect posts for help soon, as I have no manual and im labelling and noting down the order of everything Jazz - this is what you have to do to replace the heater matrix.

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Im stuck now, i cant get the big air con system off, but i think its coz i cant get the rubber hoses off on the engine bay side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I hate the two orange connectors going to the heater controls behind the first panel. I always seem to mash my hand off something when they finally release their grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 What a ball ache of a job that is. Is there anything else you can do job wise while it is all in bits ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
