How do you remove instrument panel on a vectra b?

Answer 1

Remove two screws (normally have 2 plastic caps on them) from the steering column which are behind the steering wheel, you will need to turn the wheel to get both, then 3 more below the cowling(column).
Then take the keys out of the ignition and put them on the floor.
Remove headlight loom, lever it out to get it started,then it will just pull out, then lever the drivers side vent with 2 flat knives, prising them equally so not ot break them, and remove 2 screws which are behind the vent.
Remove both centre vents the same way to reveal another 2 screws.
I found the sticking 2 knives each side L & R near the top (say 11 and 1 oclock if it was a square clock) locates the lugs which hold them in.
Pull away the dash that is now lose, which will reveal the 2 screws holding the clocks in 1 far left the other far right), and there are 2 more at the bottom of the clocks,just above the steering column/cowling, nicely hidden a bit behind some wires.
Magnetic screwdrivers are recommended.
Pull out the clocks, unplug the MID/MFD/TID whatever you have, and that should enable the dashclock to come out.



NEVER HAVE THE IGNITION ON WHEN THE CLOCKS ARE REMOVED, AND ONLY SWITCH ON WHEN EVERYTHING IS PUT BACK IN PLACE.

This takes me 15-20 mins tops, and if there is anything missing that i may have forgot, please add to it.

Just noticed i had the headlight switch removal bit around the wrong way in the previous post, and couldn't edit.
