Yes if you want to do it properly by the book, no if you use a bit of cunning and are double jointed:D

A friend done mine for me without removing the dash. I wasn't there so i don't know the exact method , he removed the centre consul and the panel hiding the fuses and if I can remember there is a bar behind this that can be unbolted.The matrix is then withdrawn into the drivers footwell.It only took him 20 minutes to remove the old one but fitting the new one took a while as the clips holding the pipe on can be troublesome in the tight space.

Thats the trouble i had with the clips they are a right sod but still better than taking dash out:)
