More mud, more rust. lots of wires -- lots of fun!!
lies all there is behind the lower dash is the landy-elves and if you take the dash out they will escape and you will be left with the reliability of a gaylander
FFS what a load of tosh everyone one knows that you can't put reliability.
there isnt that much behine the lower dash, a small amount of wiring running to the wiper motor and center pannel if you have one. then there the vent control wire and that should be it.
you need to take out all the screws and then the two bolt which are hidden by the plastic tray in the dash, then it should come off very easily.
usually, the dash its self rots due to moisture and heat from the heater. just replace it with another from a scrapper.
