First of all, credit where it's due - this guide was originally made by Ry4n to make a guide for installing the heated mirror relay on a BA with Aircon.
I've edited it to make this guide (removing the Aircon removal part) :thumbright:

Secondly, I would recommend having numbered sealable bags handy and having a numbering system for each set of nuts, bolts and screws you remove for easy reinstallation of the dash :thumbright:


Start of with this Dash Removal guide

Then:

Remove bolts on side panels (drivers and passenger):
Image

Image
Remove the sterring column cover:
Image

Remove the 2 nuts holding the steering:
Note: move the front seat forward to catch the steering wheel after you've undone the bolts.
Image

Remove heater console:
Image

Remove the centre lower panel:
Note: try and remove the radio first and undo the wires as they dont pull long enough.
Image

Undo the fastener (and also on the opposite side not shown in pic).
Image

After removing the glove box and lower panel holding the glove box (pic not shown) you will see the air duct, just remove it and you'll have access to the four bolts of the passenger airbag, remove them:

Image

Image

Then remove the airbag connector (yellow wire / yellow connector) in the passenger side footwell. You have to remove some fasteners and side cover before you can access the relay block
Make sure battery has been disconnected at least 5 mins before removing any airbag.
Put the airbag somewhere safe and handle it with caution.

Image

Remove the grill and centre bolt;
Image

Remove the a pillar on both sides:
Image

Remove the 4 nuts of the centre instrument panel:
Image


Remove these bolts and on the other side as well:
Image

Now you can remove the whole top part of the dashboard.
