Have found a lot of useful info and advice on here so wanted to try and give something back. Before anyone says this is all in the haynes - yes it is, but the pictures are generally crap and the info is dispersed in diff sections. pics here show how straightforward the job is... and not everyone has the haynes!
ok - first off you need to remove airbag. Disconnect battery and leave for a good while (10 mins minimum) so airbag won't go off in your face. To get at two torx screws in rear of ste wheel you'll have to rotate it (so need key in ignition to release steering lock). when airbag is loose unclip wiring connector and carefully store it away upright. you want to return the steering wheel to straight ahead position now. Then you need to loosen the steering wheel bolt -but don't remove it. You first need to loosen the ste wheel - and it can require a bit of effort and cld come straight off in your face without the bolt to stop it. Once wheel's loose mark position to fit it back to. Then remove bolt and wheel.
Next undo two torx screws holding steering column shroud together and unclip bottom from top. remove two small screws holding the indicator switch in place and pull it out slightly to allow you to remove rotary unit that is part of airbag system. be careful to keep the switch in the neutral position throughout the job. also be very careful with the rotary unit -you want to keep it so that the two orange arrows at the bottom are aligned at all times (and it shifts position very easily). An orange wire runs from the unit to a connection below steering column - disconnect this and then remove the three torx bolts that hold the unit in place and carefully remove. Tape up the unit to keep the orange arrows aligned whilst out the car.
Three bolts hold the switch assembly to the steering column - remove these and you should be able to slide the indicator switch off and position it out the way. I was then able to carefully remove the rest of the assembly from the column without removing the wipers switch. You should now have access to the lower pair of torx screws holding the instrument pod surround. Then the two upper screws and remove the shroud. You now have access to the instrument pod, held in by three screws. prob best put a rag over column to prevent scratching the cover of pod as you need to tilt it forwards to get it out. When free you can get at two connectors at rear - these are held in by clips you push to the right to release (facing the pod).
Refitting is reversal - just make sure indicator switch is in neutral position and presses against lug on rotary unit. Torque setting for steering wheel is 30 nm. Don't have anyone sat in driver's seat when reconnecting battery just in case airbag blows up... unlikely if you've taken a bit of care but you never know!
Don't know how long pics will last - hopefully a while!

have i told you your my best friend recently
changing instrument pod hasn't solved prob I'm trying to fix and I may put the original one back in (to have more accurate mileage... I hope! phaps ecu will do craxy things to it)
