b,

Sadly this "little job" is catching out many 306/ZX owners with a massive repair bill.

Yes the dash does come out as one major lump but with loads of bits and connections to remove first, impossible to describe here. If the job isn't done with huge care about 20% of the things removed don't work/fit properly ever again.

That is why it books at about a 7hr job in the trade, in reality it often takes two chaps a day or perhaps one a day and a half.

Depending where it's done the total bill can be £350 -£500!

Good luck.

MM
