Hi Mate..Has it cracked the venner or split the piping?..If the piping is hollow you may be able to use a small piece of dowel...Tooth-pick or the end of a very small artist paintbrush size..And a very small amount of contact adhesive..It will be very fiddly and you are going to have to remove the steering wheel..You use the dowel as a joiner by gluing it into one end of the piping and then gluing the piping onto the exposed end of what is poking out from the pipng, A 1/2" wood joiner leaving around 1/8-1/4" exposed..This should be loads....Depending on how thick the piping is...Hope this helps...Ziga

if you remove the wood panel you can get to it then just glue back in place ill take some pics as my dash is all in bits

The wood vineer comes off with two nuts behind. You'll have to lye on your back in the foot well & reach up. Very doable. Just re glue your 'P' back in place.

Thanks Barrington - will take the wood off and have a look !!

I have new veneers from hotty to fit so will maybe make me get on with it !!

You also have mail as I have a spare dash vent !!

Hi

One nut on my cars!

Then you can get at the piping no problem, if it needs replacing "Woolies" have a similar piping in stock!

I BLAME YOU !!!!!!

I bought this 450se when you were selling your lovely shiny black one and this was £2000 cheaper and nearer to Scotland ( just ) and in hindsight I should have driven that little bit further as I am changing just about everything !

thanks for the advice will head to the garage in the morning

I'm glad you didn't buy that lovely shiny black one or else it wouldn't be sitting in my garage now!! Said car has cost me a few grand over the winter so hope that puts your mind at rest!

[TvR Driver]

I might even have to put the chrome bevels in place that have been sitting on the shelf next to the new veneers !!

Woolies Mr Tank ? - a web link would help as am useless at finding important things if you get a chance

Looks like ill be on my back tomorrow !!!
