Hello

I need to get the dashboard/instrument panel out to change the bulbs.

But, how do I do it. I manage to get it out a bit, but then it won't come out any further, I can't even get my hand behind it to disconnect wires or anything.

How do I get it to putt out further so i can either totally remove it, or just change the bulbs?

from memory there are screws around the instrument panel, that allow the speedo / rev counter etc to be removed, there should be enough slack to get it out far enough to disconnect the wires, usually I struggle to get it past the steering wheel, but patience and perseverance win out in the end.
you can change the bulbs in situ from under the dash, but its a stretch and you cant see where you are and need to work by feel
