Could some kind soul tell me how to get the trim off the dash surround on an M reg Cav 2 litre? The battery lamp has blown due to an alternator fault, changed the alternator but now need to replace the bulb!.
Can't see any screws etc so guess it clips off somehow?

cableby a clip, which must be pressed towards the speedometer to release the cable (see illustration)
6) If desired, the instrument panel can be dismantled, with reference to Section 19.
Refitting
7) Refitting is a reversal of removal, but ensure that the speedometer
itsis not kinked or twisted between the instrument panel and the bulkhead as the panel is refitted.

7) On models with an adjustable tilt steering column, move the column to
steeringfully raised position, then unscrew the adjuster lever (see illustration)
8) Turn the steering wheel as necessary to expose one of the front
columncolumn shroud screw covers
9) Prise out the cover, and remove the column shroud securing screw, then turn the steering wheel to enable the remaining cover and screw to be removed (see illustration)
10) Remove the three securing screws from the underside of the lower
wheel -shroud then remove the lower and upper shrouds (see illustration)

Instrument Panel Lower Trim
12) Remove the steering column shrouds as described previously ...
unnecessary, although it would make manoeuvering the panel a bit easier, I suppose. The speedometer cable is the real problem, but once you've got it out you'll see what all the fuss is about, and refitting is a lot easier.
First time - 2 hours, last time ~45 mins.
If you need any scans from the Haynes, let me know.
