Ooooh. That looks tempting, if for nothing else, to clean the cr@p out from behind it... would love to know how many parking tickets have fallen down there

Minor update/correction.
On my girlfriends 1.4 chill, the horn/airbag bit isn't held on by the 2 clips, but by 3 T30 torx bolts.
1 left 1 right 1 bottom centre of the wheel round the back.
they don't unscrew all the way out so it's a case of trial and error as to whether their undone enough to take the unit out.
There;s a yellow 2 pin connector in the centre and a black wire to the side that need to be unplugged, gentle tugging soon gets them off (ooo matron, etc etc!)

Thanks for this guide, currently stripping her interior out to sort some leaks and this has been a godsend on those moments when I just can't figure out how that bits held in place

Welcome to 2023 and your guide is still being used!! Had a couple of minor tweaks due to the type of car but none the less, this guide has been a big part of my last 2 days!!! Anyway, dash removed and new one fitted due to airbag deployment. All dials, etc are still the same from the old car. Problem is now though that the dials don't work (looks like no power to them) and the immobiliser has clearly clicked in as the car will start, but then shuts off again within 3 seconds. All the usual bells and whistles from the engine tell me that power is fine. The car engine worked fine before switching out the dashboard. Radio turns on but need the code and the Aircon works great. Just need the thing to start.
