I have quite a few lights out in the dash of my 1997 XJR and cannot fine a step by step how to get the dash out so I can get too the bulbs. Anyone out there have one,,

Thanks

 

Do you mean the instrument binacle with the rev counter and speedo, or the centre console with the radio?
Assuming it's the instrument binacle, remove the 4 screws and 1 fir tree fastening that secure the lower trim at driver's knees. Unplug aspirator to get the lower trim free of the car. Look upwards/underneath the binacle and you will see a 8mm(?) nut and a phillips head screw at the far left and right hand sides of the binacle. Remove them. The binacle can then be wiggled forwards (towards the steering wheel) and upwards. When it's high enough you need to get to the back of it and unplug the two plugs.
Now that's what I reckon I did to remove mine. However, I've read posts where there were 4 phillips head screws and no nuts.
So just be aware of that.
