Dumb question time!!! How do you remove the dashboard from a defender 110? I have attacked it from the top, bottom and sides without success.

All I want to do is get to the wiring for ciggy lighter, rear wipe/wash, fan blower switch, etc.

Is there a detailed procedure for removing it anywhere? I have a workshop manual but that does not help much until I actually get inside the dashboard!

Its a 1996 300 tdi with a/c.

Any help, suggestions, ideas or comments welcome.

On mine all the wires for the fag lighter was tucked away behind where the radio was fitted.

Thanks for that Roy but I still need to rip it out as I have developed a nasty annoying squeak in there somewhere that is driving me insane! Its louder than all the other normal noises!!!!

Managed to get the dashboard off, afer lots of grunting and swearing. While I was in there thought I would replace the blower switch as it didnt work on setting number 4. Replaced the switch but still the same. Any ideas?

Think I got rid of the squeak though!!!

Is setting No4 fast or slow, I don't have AC. If slow maybe the resistor is burnt out, if fast seems likely the wire has fallen off.

Hi Bee

When I switch to number 4 the fan stops completely. I also considered the resistor and am just getting it changed. Will let you know if that fixes it!!!

Got it fixed in the end!!! The local mechy prodded around with a meter and finally found out that it was a relay causing the fan to stop in position 4!!!

Thanks for the advice and suggestions all.

Still got the nasty squeak though!!!!
