Can anyone tell me how to remove the upper and lower steering column cowlings as I want to change my column switchgear? ( 1982 Series 2 Coupe).
Cheers, David.

Four phillips screws from underneath hold the two halves together. There should be a further screw holding the lower shroud to the column which will then drop away. The top one can be lifted up to allow access to the two screws holding the switchgear to the column and there are three electrical connectors to undo.

Simples.

What Guy said.
In addition, to completely remove the top cowl, you need to slacken
the steering column 4 x 10mm nuts right back.
This gives you the clearance required.

Thanks very much ,Nigel and Guy. I'd found 2 of the 4 and the central one but I'll have look closer under the column for the other two.
At least I now know what I'm looking for.
Cheers, David.

The layout is like the five dots on a dice, the central one being the one that attaches the lower half to the column. If you've found 2 I'll guess they're the upper ones?
