    Watch what you listen to on the net.

    Two screws, running vertically underneath the bottom of the radio trim
    panel.

    Now: with a small screwdriver, gently pry out the clock from the
    bottom. Disconnect it and put it aside. Behind the clock is the ALL
    IMPORTANT THIRD SCREW. Take it out.

    NOW you can pop out the radio trim panel, complete with climate
    controls. Put a rag or two inside the clock cavity, get your fingers in
    there as best you can, and yank. It's just pressure clips.

    Remember: there are THREE screws, two down below and one up above
    behind the clock.

    several screws under the ashtray. remove them and the entire
    High voltage ?
    And also what you read.
    I think he was working on the basis that it's the same basic car as a
    Rover 600...

    In which case, his instructions were bollocks :)

    You have to remove the leccy window switches first. Then take off gearnob,
    and remove entire centre console (one screw is under the leccy window
    switches).
    Once that is out of the way, the centre bit holding the stereo(s) can be
    removed.
