to take off the "dash pod" ?

There are somme things moving and banging at the back of the facia and i would like to fix this.

And by the way, changing the facia in itself.

It's already an alloy one but i have a brushed one that i prefer and will change it by the way.

I've already have a look under. Not a lot of things really accessible.

So, instead of taking off a lot of things, i prefer to ask if there's a "simple" way to manage this.

Many thanks

Jay

The instrument pod is held on by 2 wing nuts underneath. It is the temp guage that makes changing the facia difficult, the capillary tube needs to be fed through all the way from the engine bay very carefully to avoid damage.

I've jus checked the cerbera manual, and yes this is a f.... pain...
Don't you know if the ring around the gauge can be took off or not ?
I've chnged them on some Smith gauges on my M and it was quite simple.

I hope it's as simple on the Cerbera...

Like this, i could declip an clip back the ring...

Anybody knows if it's possible ?
