How do you remove the three controls from the dash? They seem to unclip but I don't want to force them.

Cheers :D

At the bottom of them theres a gap/hole that you have to put a small bar/screwdriver into to press a small catch thats inside the control.
If you get me.

They are tricky bastids which usually piss me off and i end up ripping off lol

The blower switch has a release catch either side you need to turn on the rear demister (pull it out) and you can push a small screwdriver in either side and it will come out and the direction and heat controls the knobs pop off with a sturdy pull but if theyve not been off before they are tight!

IIRC the two end ones, you pull of the knob and there is screws under them??
and yeh middle one it two small cathes either side.
the lights switch is the worst one. lol
