it wasnt that bad to change the heater matrix done in half a shift  Smiley . the only thing you need to watch is the wiring loom is clip on to various points behind the dashboard so be patient anyone who does do it them selfs  Smiley

had a look at the link there you posted there fair enough looks an easier way to do it . how long did it take to do it that way .
am sorry but a wouldnt cut any part of the dashboard it only takes minutes to remove the centre console and few hours to remove the dash  Smiley

Quite agree. I think the dashboard cut that's mentioned in the guide becomes virtually unspottable if done neatly. Never had to attempt this yet thankfully (I'll probably regret saying that!)

I appreciate a job well done, but I'd probably do more damage doing the job 'properly' than cutting the dash  Grin
