Hi all.

Dash is coming out. Wiper arms have way too much play so will be
addressing that. (I checked for slop at pivots. It seems play is in
linkage) Hopefully parts are available. I'll read Bentley first and
scour the web.

I'm a virgin on this one, but found a good dash removal procedure in archives.

Any tips mucho appreciated though.

Here's the actual question.

Any suggestions on preventitive maintenance I should do while in
there? i.e. what should be replaced while it's open?

I will be replacing the wiper motor and likely the blower motor too. I
can only assume they are original. Van has 350,000++kms.  I will
inspect seals on heater box too.

Too bad I didn't know what engine I might be swapping in. Now would be
a good time to install the heater core.......

Cheers, and TIA,

Neil.
