The only other screws are the ones down through the warning module unit which are accessed after removing the instrument surround.

That long thin display panel is screwed into the dash front from behind.
You have to take the dash front off first then you can get at most of the bulbs without removing the individual units.

Is your DIVARI (Or what ever it is) not working??? Or is your steering out of alingment... She should have it fitted being LHD..

Thats a pure Series 1.5 (1992 to 1994) SEi spec car with Manual Gearbox...

Pop the Climate unit out - it pops out...

then underthe dash theres a line of screws, or torx, then you need to remove the speedo binnacle cover.. without breaking the tabs.. Its a good one that..

Theres then two screws holding it in place along the top.. and four in behind the heater panel..

Thats it..

DIRAVI was only fitted on V6 cars in Mainland Europe Paul and it was stupidy overgeared compared to the Cx's
so not really as good as it could've been. Sounds like the only real difference to standard of the time with this
car's assembly was the colour coding as per the 24v V6 although some SE / SD cars did get this rolled out
including the flat 24v Speedline rims.

AFAIK, All later SE spec cars had colour coded mirrors and bumpers.

That Prestige thing I had was a "SEi Prestige" on the V5, it had colour coded everything and the flat 24V rims.
