REMOVAL 

1. Remove the stereo from the console, and release from the wiring harness.

2. Remove the gear knob. Usually these are screw on items, unless replaced by an after market item which may be held on by small grub screws.

3. The console is retained in place by a number of stiff trim clips. To remove the console, grab the panel below the gear shift gaiter, and pull upwards. This may require some tugging to overcome the grip of the trim clip.

4. Now work upwards, releasing each trim clip individually- often there is a clip at the base of the radio aperture, two - one on each side of the clock and oil temp gauge, and another at the top of the console trim, above the hazard switch. Note that the radio aperture clip needs to be pushed out of place before the console can be removed.

5. Once free of the clips, the clocks and switches need to be freed of their wiring harnesses. Now the console is free.

REFITTING 

There are no particular hints or tips to relay here, as refitting IS a reversal of removal, except to note:

1.  It is a good idea to check that the switches and gauges all work correctly before pushing the trim clips all home.

2. Make sure that the two halves of each trim clip are correctly located to the console and main dash before starting!
