There's one major error in this. There are two wiring looms that run from the LH side to the RH side behind the dash - an upper one and a lower one. There's a white multipin plug and socket behind the glovebox, to the left of the accessories socket, which should be unplugged. This allows a considerable amount of the dashboard electrics and the upper loom to remain attached to and to be removed with the dash.
