Title: facia/dash removal, 110
Post by: Ollie on March 26, 2006, 12:18:00
I'm trying to remove the plastic facia on my 110, for two reasons, I have found some rot by the door catch in the passenger side, and secondly, I'm trying to remove all unecessary electrics/wiring - of which there is plenty.

I have removed the steering column shroud, the grab handle and passenger speaker mounting. I've removed all the small black screws that hodls the bottom part of the facia, and removed the top plastic rib. I've removed the centre switch bracket, but can't find any other means that secures the facia :(mad):
Do I need to remove the whole dash :?: Please tell me there's a better way :?:

Cheers
Ollie

Nobody has removed the dash/facia? OK, I'm going in, this is probably going to get messy. I'll take some pictures and make a few notes for the next poor chap who finds himself in the unknown :(scared):

Been a while since I did this....

But seem to remeber you have to work from the top down...

Clock panel, top section, grey panel, metal support frame and then the bottom section....

Not as hard as it sounds.
