   Ok so am taking my dash out to change heater matrixs, I've followed all guides and the hanz but for some reason it won't come out, it seems to be stuck on the drivers side, like I've missed a bolt, having gone through the guides again and again, I can't see where,
   Any ideas? Is there a comman bolt that people miss? Or is it stiff to come out and just needs a bit of brute force?
   Am sat with car now, so help is really needed
   Cheers

   Yeah the drivers side always gets stuck for me too, what is stopping the dash is there are two plastic clips (that are part of the dash) that go over the metal bars that screw down to the middle of the centre console (down by your foot).
   
   Just remove that entire bar, make sure all wires are out the way. It's a good idea to remove the fan for the heater too.
   
   Then just give the dash a good pull and it should come out, I'm assuming you've removed the 3 bolts from behind the scuttle in the engine bay?
