i`ve removed everything i can see but it just feels stuck at the windscreen...

As I understand it there are some bolts that hold the dash into the bulkhead from the other side in the engine bay! Have you had a look under there on the other side of the dash / in the scuttle tray area?

not to bad actually, u will need a dinky siocket set with a universal joint, or sinse u are breaking the car, with the wiper mech out it might not be so bad. Just two nuts, about 1/3 of the way in from either side.

 

There are aslo afew screws that hold the dash in just below where the blue and orange wires cross in the dial recess. Did you get those?? they threw me when I was taking grims dash out, cos the dont point the same way as every other screw holding the thing in!

 

good luck
