Mercury Clio 182
Sorry to resurrect an old thread but the left hand side of the radio display in my 182 is dull. How does the dash come off and what bulbs do I need to repair it?

Pop the silver trims off from either side, and also the upper part of the steering cowling, then its a case of taking out the run of screws exposed, theres also 3 along the top of the dash in the vent for demisting the windscreen and a plastic screw each side to come off. Then a case of easing the top dash towards you and upwards

That's the antenna cable. You may have to pull that adaptor out of the socket. Can't remember what the standard connector is on the renault unit

I must be piss weak, because I just can't get the left side of the upper dash to budge where the air bag is. Over on RenaultForums.co.uk there's a number of posts on this subject and as shown in most videos, the upper dash just pulls up and off, however there are a few posts that describe having difficulty in getting the left side off. The solution proposed in that case has been to "push down on the dash at the back of the airbag and then pull back.
In the above photo, I can see that there are three rectangular holes in the back of the metal airbag housing/frame, I'm thinking there may be some clips on the underside of dash that engage in those holes.
It would all make sense if I someone could post a similar photo of the underside of the dash to see what type of clips (if any) are stopping me from pulling the dash up and out.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. The airbag frame had been bent, so the slots in the dash wouldn't release. My solution was to unplug and unscrew the passenger airbag in situ and bring it out with the dash - super fiddly with a 1/4 wrench but it worked.
Then bent the airbag frame back into shape before reinstalling

Thanks, Green51.
I'll have another go tomorrow.
Cheers.

I was dreading doing this when the clock display started to fade on the left side.
By coincidence, my battery started to fail and a week or two later I got that swapped out. Instantly the display was all clear again - just so glad I didn't start the hassle of taking the dash apart prior to then!

I read another post yesterday that said you have to pull the upper dash straight out toward you, not up.
So, in my case, it was probably a mistake to lever up the front of the left hand (airbag) side, because now it's stuck in that position and I can't force it back down into the normal position
