Thread: Disco 3 - upper dash replacement tips

Funny that, mine has just started cracking too!
A dashmat has been ordered - the cheapest alternative.

Mine too. How much was the second hand dash?

Cheers

i paid $900 secondhand from Triumph Rover Spares in WA and cost another $80 to send to NSW. It's in great condition and came with airbags. Just need to work out how to fit it. i'm thinking of reverse engineering by seeing what screws i'd have to fit by looking at the replacement but wondered if anyone has done this and what the tips and tricks were.
Does fitting the dash mat affect the airbag if it goes off?

The dash mats typically have a flap over the airbag that moves when the airbag deploys.

I have no idea on how to fit the new dash so best of luck. Make sure to take pics!

Cheers

This document may help (attached pdf).
It is extracted from the D4 workshop manual but I imagine the D3 would be similar.

thanks for this ...will try and let you know how i go

I think this is the D3 version.

I like Step 10 ....
"Avoid dropping the screw inside the instrument panel"
