Remove the end panel, remove the light switch (from the off position push in the knob and turn it whilst pulling the switch out), remove the drop down storage tray and remove the trim over the top of the steering column (lower and extend the steering column reach/rake and pull the trim towards you)

This should reveal all the screws you need to remove.  There are a couple under the lower edge too.

Ive just failed trying to replace some pads on my mates R32,  undone the caliper guide bolts to get the pins out and the caliper wouldn't budge :sad1: So put it back together, If he would have come round at like 9-10 this morning instead of nearly 4pm then I would have had a better go at it :grin:

Any way got Ollies coilovers to do in the morning then a nice free week :drinking:

Cheers
