Fl center dash fascia removal and radio removal ! The radio would not budge as the double din pins would not grip  Then did what it said in the guide , filed the pins and it came out after 20 odd attempts  Then krypton factor trying to figure out how the panel switches unhook 

Many a swear word was coming out the windows  Now to get it back in without scratching the paint

Apart from the hazard switch, all the others simply pull out... Sockets unclip and slide out

Yeah but i'd never done a fl one before  I found the location of the d/din pins were out of align so god knows how it unhooked itself  Bent the pins into the correct position now .
I cant remember how it all goes back now 
If i scratch it putting it back grrrrr

I can only presume that the far inferior prefacelift is assembled using nothing more than gravity and sticky back plastic...

Don't forget the blutac and sellotape..... thats what I found at the back of mine when I rewired it to receive a proper radio instead of the Bose radio that was installed....

I have resorted to crowbars in the past to remove the DD facelift radio

Picture as promised , turned out ok . The wood effect had all faded and lost its gloss so went for that rare silver effect . New gear stick and handbrake gaiter's

You do of course realise that Facelift wood trim comes as either matt or gloss depending on age don't you...
