Speedo removal on 182

[Jim112233]

Hi Folks,I'm in the middle of fitting new dials on the 182. I've removed dash but cant quite figure out how to remove red harness from back of speedo, ive lifted black latch but it just wont come out and I dont want to break it!!

Any help will be much appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,Jim

Lift the latch and wiggle the bugger out.

Yeah just dosent wanna come out!!

Get manly.

Or screwdriver it out.

All done, but unfortunately I never secured bonnet properly after reconnecting earth and went for a drive! Then my bonnet flew up and hit roof!!! Great.....now to find a black gold bonnet!

well done

Pics or it didn't happen.

Also - this is a good excuse to put a carbon fibre bonnet on there.

expensive lesson learnt hope all is ok.

I certainly wont ever do that again, I had an Evo 8 for my last car and bonnet was up everyday and and I never made that mistake!! £300 for roof dents filled in and whole roof resprayed another bonnet fitted and resprayed, so basically £340 for the plasma dials all in, lol.
