As has been said already it's not that difficult.

Some pointers.

Be careful of the brake fluid reservoir when removing the dash.

Don't forget the screws "hidden" behind the door at the front pillar.

At top front of dash, don't undo the bigger fasteners. They're for the
wipers. Just remove the smaller screws.

Cheers,

Neil.

Looking at Haynes and the Bentley, removal will be no fun at all! What really worries me is I my not be able to get a new fan anyway.
