Removing dash in a Mk 1 clio (williams 3)

[DanG]

One of my bulbs has gone behind the speedo, has anyone taken there dash out to replce bulbs before?

If so whats the best way of getting the beast off without damaging it?

Help, its getting on my wick already.

easy peasy mate.

All you need to do is take off the top dash (5 star screws) and the plastic round the console. Then unscrew the two screws that hold the clocks in, get ur hands behind and unplug all the connectors including the speedo cable. And the clocks are out.

The bulbs just turn and pop out. Fitting is reversal of above. The speedo is a little tricky as there is limited room but its not too bad.

Haynes will help you too if you have one!
