thanks

Pull down the top vents, there should be two screws behind them.

Also take off all your heater switches, being careful not to snap them. The centre one has a little hole that you have to push a small screwdriver into, to free the clip on it.
Also, the slider below the heater switches needs clipping off.

You should then see all visible screws. Undo them all and with a bit of pulling it should come off.

Just be patient and don't pull on anything too hard.

Be careful, i now need to replace mine.. as the vents snapped and now they flop down and the hazard button is as stiff as hell!

mate, are you on about the up and down vents, if so mate you can have mine as i am replacing them with a centre console with plasma unit and they are not needed anymore but it wont be for a couple of months, if you can wait that long.

I have never managed to get my centre console out either. I have undone all four screws and then i can pull it out about an inch or 2 but it wont budge any further than that, and its really awkward to get a decent look at whats stopping it coming out. Anybody got any ideas?

 

[Josh]

theres 2 pins either end, theres wires etc

 

[AdHeath1989]

What do you have to do with these pins? And where abouts; 1 either side, or 1 at top and 1 at the bottom? Because i spent ages fiddling around trying to prise stuff apart but wouldn't have non of it.

 

[Josh]

there are 2 pins at either side, hooked on (like a loop) onto two plastic peg things.. hard to explain..
and there are connectors too in the middle near the bottom.

 

[AdHeath1989]

How easy are they to disconnect, and will it be these that are stopping me pull it out further?

 

[Josh]

when i had a look they seemed pretty tight.. i got one of them off, just used a small screw driver to lift it up off the peg

 

[AdHeath1989]

Ok il give it ago when i get the chance what colour are they and what are they made out of?

 

[Josh]

they are metal
you'll see what i mean
