Hi,

I did this last year on my 94 855, GREAT FUN ! ! :-(

It took me about 12 hours to complete, the guy at the airco shop where I went for recharging told me it takes him about 8 hours.

The only special tools you need are a set of torx bits an a lot of bandage :-)

Tips:

1.Ask your arco shop to disconnect the condensor under the hood (special tools required)

2.Start reading the dash removal procedure at BAY13 for a start.

3.Very important, disconnect your battery, there are lots of electrical connections you have to remove, like airbags ect.ect.

4.The main bolts (4) witch hold the dash are hidden under the air intake just in front of the windscreen (remove the wipers first).

5.Replace all dash bulbs as I found (after completion) that 3 of them had died :-(

6.While rebuilding your dash, put silicone spray on contacting surfacces of all plastic parts to prevent squeeking noise.

If you leave me your e-mail adress I send you a picture of the car without a dash (looks like a bomb went of in it).

Good luck,

Rob.
