Followed the Landshark write up and have the console removed along with glovebox etc. The S3 must be different to the S4 as my mounting points on the drivers side (RHD) has 2 bolts up top and one near the kick panel holding the dash. The passenger side has the one up top and the one near the kick panel.
There must be another one I'm missing somewhere as the dash will start to pull from the drivers side but is still firm on the passenger side like it is still bolted.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I should remember this, I had my dash out last year. I'm pretty sure both passenger and driver's side had two bolts up top, and I remember it took some looking to find them all, but I don't remember exactly where (and I'm not sure which one you have already got out). Pretty sure the S3 is not actually different from any other year in this regard though...

Look toward the corners of the dash by laying upside down in the footwell and you'll see the retaining nuts. Trace where the metal tubes were that the dash covers and you see it.

Each side has two bolts an 8mm and a 10mm, one is on the side and one is on the round cross bar, the center of the dash clips under a tab.
Mark the bolts else you will strip the mounting clips when you reinstall them

Dash is out. It was stuck to the base of the windshield with the sealant. Now to replace all the vacuum actuator diaphragms and remove all the crap stereo wiring someone done 25 years ago.
