How-to remove Instrument Cluster (IPC)

So the first thing you should do is disconnect the battery negative



Once you have done that jump in the car and you need to lower and pull out the steering wheel using the rake adjustment







Next you need to take off the top cover, you do this pushing upwards





Then undo the 7mm bolt to undo the retainer strap & place to one side.



Next you need to take the headlight switch panel off this will just pull off.





Next you need to remove the cover trim at the front of the IPC.



You could use your finger underneath it or a trim tool





Move along the trim



Then at the other use a trim tool again to pop it off



There are 2 7mm bolts that need to undone, one is a bitch to get to.





Next you need to push this tab upwards (it's very rigid)



Top tip is use 2 slot head screw drives one in each side and prise down at an angle



The IPC will start to come out once it does tilt it forward and pull up





Next remove the plug (push the small tab in and pull the grey lever back)





Refitting is the reversal.

When you refit the top cover it pushes on, so line it all up hold it down at the back and then give it a whack with your palm and it will pop in 100% spot on (if you've lined it up right).
