I dreaded dash out for fixing my heater fan, but in the end it wasn't such a bad job if you take your time and go steady.

to take the dash out is a simple job as long as the screws are not rusted badly near windscreen due to leaking screen , and the shear of bolts holding the column undo easily enough if you chisel them undone
