Anyone on here ever done one of these out of a late L plated car, and:
1) Kept their language to an acceptable level
2ndly) Kept their mental status "sane"

I failed in both of the above, does anyone have any tips if i have to put it back together on Friday hopefully someone will do the hard bits for me when I'm at college tomorrow.

Cheers

John

Complete ba@@$%d aren't they.
Manuals say dash has to come out but you can get away with releasing
it and pulling away from bulkhead enough to work behind.

Did one years ago and never, ever again

You think a 405 is bad ? Try a late Renault Espace! they have 2

Did one through the glovebox once, abit of bracket cutting would help out!!!

took me 3 hours, ended up air chiseling the welds on the support that runs around the dash bending it down and cutting the glove box support! Drilling holes in the dash to get the screws out ffs finally came through the dash. Best of all i consulted the book of lies and it said remove glove box undo 5 screws and withdraw hahahaha what a crock. It never fails to amaze me how much easier they could make it but don't......

As i said ^^ look forward to putting it in
