Hi guys. I'm trying to get the dash out my 6n2 but it just won't budge I have undone the 4 bolts under the scuttle panel the t20s at the sides of the dash and have removed all the dash trim from underneath. Is there something I can't see?

Ok so I haven't had much time recently but both tonight and last night I have attacked my dash, there is nothing holding it on but it seems to be holding on/pivoting on something at the top.....do I just have to man up and pull it really hard? I'm worried I'm going to break something!

As long as you do every step of the guide it should come out.

Yep problem sorted its louse just need to cut all the cable ties thanks again!
