Taking dash and heater matrix out.
 

Well im gonna start taking the dash and heater matrix out when the weather gets better so i was wondering if anyone has done it before or if anyone has any hints and tips how to do it, i know its abit of a pig of a job to do but its gotta be done :-( oh its on a classic too if that makes any difference :-) are there any hidden bolts etc etc

cheers

andy

No one?

Finally got the dash out, only took 3 sodding hours with alot of swearing, wasnt getting the dash out itself it was sorting the loom and the blower pipes :-( just got to wait for the matrix to turn up now

Good man. Not an easy job,so you were brave to have ago. I do like the spoiler less look of your car. :drive:

Well all done and working fine, got to say if anyone its thinking about doing it its alot easier to pay someone else to do it, its a total pig of a job and not one i want to do ever again :-(

Its a complete bitch for sure.
Not done one on mine, but did help someone do one.
As you say, loom is a pig.

I had ther pleasure of doing one on a merc 190, now thats one you never want to do.

Best tip is to take pics of stuff that you may forget.
Took a whole weekend.

Well done mate! It's done now. :doubleup:

Nice one, didnt see that you had done it.

Took ages, put it all back together and prayed i hadnt missed anything, anyway started her, turned the blowers on and................................nothing lol started to panic abit then realised i hadnt connected the matrix plugs, i remembered everything else apart from a slightly vital plug lol luckly i managed to get to them from behind the stereo, filled up the coolant and everything was fine, took 1.5 liters of coolant so it must of been a bad leak lol
