Starting with this
EDIT (
I've now found that with a bit of wiggling you can simply release the cowl by undoing the 4 screws and ease the cowl forward and rotate anticlockwise to get it out of the way and then remove the 4 screws holding the instrument pod. This means you don't have to remove the steering wheel or disconnect the mirror control and dimmer
)
If, however, you decide to take off the steering wheel and column shrouding to make the job easier. Follow below.
To remove the steering wheel, first disconnect the battery. After 15 mins or so, remove the airbag.The air bag is held on with two Torx30 bolts accessed from the rear of the wheel.
Then disconnect the yellow plug, and put the airbag aside.
Loosen and remove the 19mm retaining nut, and then unplug the multi plug. You can then pull the wheel towards you to remove it.(mark the position of wheel on centre spline for refitting)
It is vital that you take measures to ensure the contactor doesn't rotate or it may be damaged.
The column shroud is held with 3 screws underneath. 2 near the stalks and 1 at the bottom under the fusebox cover.
So, the outer cowl of the dials is held in with 4 screws, two shorter ones here

and two others here

You can now ease the cowl forward to remove the connectors from the dimmer and the mirror control.
It was at this point I realised I should have taken the steering wheel off.
The instruments are also held by 4 screws, two here

two here

It is now possible to pull the instrument pod forward to see and release two long grey connectors and a short yellow one.
