Hi Guys
I am trying to remove the instrument panel, however the immobiliser fob does not allow me to have any manouvre, i believe even if i try to remove the steering wheel it does to not give me much room or access to the Speedo/rev as i am trying to change the lightbulbs in the dash.
Please look at the picture attach - would welcome some feedback/guidance.
Thanks

You need to lose it up this wires…..removing steering wheel will not help a lot.
just try to track wires….could be loop with extra lenth

Does the outer ring screw off? I mean that looks like they had to install it. I bet there is a plug on the immobiliser box
two wires, separate the wires from each other….at the rear and clip each one Separately… One at a time….
Leave enough wire so you can use a set of insulated male/female spad connectors to reconnect them….

Have a look for the immobiliser box above the pedals, remove the cover above the pedals to get there.
I have the same immobiliser and that's where mine is.

I guess they will use the same key fob for a few different models so you will need to find the box to see which one you have.
You can disconnect the fob from the the box if you look at these links you can see it plugs into the box.

make sure you have the car battery disconnected before do any of this.
the cover above the pedals on a cabriolet has 2 plastic clips which you unclip then pull the cover down, it’s also held up by a couple of metal tabs on the bulk head.

worst case looks liek there is enough slack on the wires to allow the cowling to pivout out of the way for cluster etc removal. then for final dash removal carefully manouver the cowling to fit sideways thru the hole in the dash. once dash is out then you can get a better look at fob and wirign from it. worst case cut the wires and put 2 spades inline
