I want to take the dash out as I want to re locate the immobiliser & radio and I want to change a few other little bits around in my Phase 1.
Got the bottom piece where the hazard switch etc is but am unsure of where the rest of the fixings are.
Anybody removed this before ?
Don't want to break anything and I can't find any guides on it so I thought it'd be better just to put up a thread

Look for a heater matrix guide, should show dash bolt locations.

I don't think you want to remove the dash, there's two 10mm nuts inside when u take the radio out.

Yeah sorry I should have been more specific I don't want to remove the whole lot just want to take that centre bit where the radio and heater controls are apart.

Took a photo of the section in question that I want to remove. I got a look behind where the radio mounts on the right hand side and there was what looked like a clip. Am I right in presuming there's one on the other side ? Want to get this out without breaking anything lol

That radio just pushes out from behind iirc
That reveals a couple 8mm headed nuts
Then that panel comes off

I'll give that a try, Don't mind what happens to the radio as I'm not keeping it and it needs to be decoded so I now a paperweight so I think I'll just be more forceful with it lol. Cheers dude I'll try that tomorrow evening ?

no that radio needs 2 thin knife like objects inserted about a quarter way in each side at the bottom to release it . . .

That's what I figured at first so I found the two little slots and decided to just bodge it with a flathead screwdriver and that released it out as far as it is. Probably needs more releasing I'm too used to bmw's, could have an E46 dash apart and back in no time lol. 306's are more interesting though tbh anyway ill try release it further thanks for that dude

Shouldn't need pushing with a tape deck, can just put a finger in there and pull instead. Though it can break the LCD screen if you go too mad with it lol.

Yeah I was sitting there looking at it contemplating that but I didn't want to break it lol. Done accounting exam today so I'm off now for a break so I have some time to put into this. Coming into more money next week as its my 21'st next thursday so I'll be putting up a project thread with some actual progress rather then wrecking all of your heads for advice 
The advice you've all given me is very much appreciated by the way thanks all ?
