12 screw's if i'm right, that a black platic bit above the dial's that need to come off then you'll see the top two screw's. that the cowling, nedd to come off, around the wheel. that 4 screw's ( i think) then two screw's that hold the plastic cover where you adjust the wheel height, and then two more for the bottom of the dash ( pain to find). Heh so that 12 screw's. Having small hand will help when if come's to the speedo cable.

Takes ages, I think it's a four spanner job in Haynes (Clio). I managed to slip a rev counter bulb in without taking the whole thing out, not so sure about the other side.
