- then pull in the bottom of the cover and unclip either side of the steering wheel. remove the cover

STEP: 2 Remove the Cluster
- undo the 4 screws holding the cluster to the dash. ( red arrows in pic below )
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia008.jpg
- Pull the cluster outwards favouring the left side.

- unplug the 3 connectors

STEP: 3 Dismantle the Cluster
- press down on the black plastic tabs one at a time and seperate the facia and its cover from the cluster

http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia015.jpg
- seperate the cover from the facia,
this time press down on the clear tabs one at a time and seperate the clear cover from the facia.
try not to touch the facia or the inside of the clear cover as fingerprints will be visable when you reasemble it.

STEP: 4 Fit the new Facia
with out handling the new facia to much, avoiding leaving smudges or finger prints on the facia or the dials, fit the new facia to the cluster
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia018.jpg
- make sure all the tabs click in
STEP: 5 Reasemble the cluster
- fit the clear cover, make sure all the tabs line up.
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia019.jpg
- gently press the cluster together all around to make sure all the clips have clicked in.

http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia023.jpg
STEP: 6 fit the cluster to the car
- in revers from disasembly fit the cluster to the dash
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia024.jpg
- plug in the 3 connectors, and turn on the ignition to make sure all the warning lights and gauges work.
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia025.jpg
then fit the 4 screws to hold down the cluster followed by the cluster cover.

AFTER
http://ecu-man.com/diy/cluster-facia/5th-Gen-Cluster-facia026.jpg
its a pretty simple job, should only take you 15 or so minuts
just make sure your parts are clean before assembly, free from finger prints and dust.
dont be tempted to play with the dials when the cluster is apart.
