Non-climate.

Checked the maintance guides, got JayW's facelift removal, and MarkDTM's dash pannel (speed, rev, mid ect..)

I want to remove the heater control / dash buttons ect...

I want to see if i can get the loom from a scrappy one tomorow.

Also last time at the scrappy i could not remove the headunit... it came out about half way then just jammed.

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Yep got the grub screws off - and i managed to get the radio almost out.

The keys just give you more leverage to wiggle the radio out?

Unfortunely don't have ane removal keys. (only double din) Screw drivers did't seam to make it budge.
