I'm now in Blackburn, West Lothian. Would appreciate help / advice with the dash, happy to come to you to discuss or whatever suits. I'm competent with spanners but need guidance on how to take it to bits, and hoped someone might've had the same dash problem.

Thanks for that! The squeak will be the coffin arms and yeah I replaced them along with the rest.
Where about are you?

Hi. Nice to see someone else from Scotland on here. You look like you know what you're doing from the pics you've posted so far. Have you replaced the front suspension bushes too? The ones on mine creak like buggery when the weather's very dry (thankfully not often!)
