lower dashboard

got a leak drivers side and now need to do a small weld on the floor, the leak is coming from what appears to just behind the lower part of the dashboard - my question is can you remove the lower half without having to remove all the dashboard (i did a search but couldn't find a specific answer to this)?

removed mine at the weekend - answer imo is no - its modular and you need to remove large chunks to get at screws to remove the lower bit. - most of the wiring from the dash need undoing also ....of course i had no manual and was just stripping it out logically !

i suspect - if your leaking youll find either your screen scuttle is fooked or the inner portion of your bilkhead is ****ed (mines is) good news is if its not tooooo far in(ie round the vent) its pretty much a flat sheet with a slight bend to weld in !

thanks for this
how long did it take you to get dashboard out then?

Agree with Top Drive

Whilst you may be able to remove some of the pssenger side fixings without taking everything above apart, it's a one piece thingy so you'll struggle on the drivers side

Page 930 on attached shows the exploded diagram if that helps:

bout 3 hrs - label your wires as they come off !

TopDrive do you happen to have any pics of the repair you did on the inside of the bulkhead? I'm doing mine on friday!

never got it done , had to do the boyfriend thing and also order more bits to finish the job...... (dont we always ? )

Just look at the bulkhead from under the bonnet and you will see the little rusty hole.
Its between the inner wing and the brake servo.
Also rusts in the same place on the passenger side but you have to take the heater box out to see/get to it.

i only need to do the passengers side version of this

saw a good photo showing the extent of what you may find when you take the dash off yesterday - cant find it now though - wasnt pretty !

to make you feel better though
