LCD in dashboard... spacked it!

[Brand86]

Been a bit of an idiot and to cut a long story short, ended up pushing the LCD screen about a centimetre back into the dashboard housing. Only problem is that there seems no way to pull it forward again... also annoying as the buttons are joined to the LCD so they have gone back in too

I am thinking that the only way to fix this is remove the top part of the dashboard this is all mounted in... I have no idea about going about this! Is this something I could do or will I need to take the car into the dealers?

Please help!
Cheers guys.

not as hard as you would think...

Hehe if I can do it, anyone can

Seems pretty long... how long did it take you guys?

Also, did you disconnect the battery? Renault immobilisers are difficult beasts to master from experience!

5 mins off 10 mins on

Is that all you reckon? Seems like quite a lot of stages from the instructions posted?

^^ agreed, pull off dash inserts, bout 5 screws, bout 3 in top of dash, one on either side, and pull.

Cool thanks for the help guys... I will have a bash and if I fail then I have a service due soon anyway so they can repair my attempt at a repair!

thats because its a detailed guide.

if i just wrote: undo the 9 screws and pull off the dashboard... it wouldnt really have been a guide.

takes about 10 mins both ways, maybe 20 if its your first time.

Ha point well made, will try tomorrow then. Cheers guys will let you know how it goes...

Do you think I should disconnect the battery though? That is the only bit I'm unsure of...
