Remove the screw from the underside of the binnacle nearest the door. |
Carefully remove the screw from the opposite side, being careful not to scratch the console leather. |
Whilst lying on the floor looking upwards into the area under the dashboard, locate the bolt pictured above and remove it using a 10mm socket. A swivel-head ratchet and flashlight will be most useful. |
Carefully lift the side of the binnacle nearest the center of the car, then gently pull the bottom edges apart to clear the lower edge of the side fascia. |
Rotate and wriggle the binnacle in an arc to clear the dashboard. Be VERY careful not to scratch the leather above the radio, a piece of protective cardboard on the top surface would be wise. |
All of the gauges, indicator lamps, and switches are now readily accessible. |
