How easy?

Removing all the dash seems to be a bit of a sod. Even my local garage didn't really fancy.

So who's done it? ..........2 hours or 2 weeks?

Been meaning to do this on mine for about 2 years now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gets on your nerves in winter but who likes working on cars in the cold weather?

I heard on here that it can be done without taking the dash out by means of cutting a small bit from the bottom of the dash,just enough to slide the matrix out.

Someone will know

Cheers,that should make life easier!

Just out of curiosity,were all rhd 405 made in england?

I believe they were, as were the RHD 306 and I think some of the 206 models.

May be wrong on the 206. Aussiefrogs has more details.. somewhere.

Thanks for the alternative link.

Still sounds dodgy tho', but I've kept it just in case!

Removing the entire dash on a 405 isn't actually that hard. I've done it 3 times now, and can do the whole job (dash off, matrix replaced and dash back on) in a day. Granted, it's not a short day, and there is swearing, but it can be done.
