Removing panel driver side ND1 MK4?

  1. My model of MX-5 is: __ND1 MK4 2 Litre
  2. I’m based near: __South Yorkshire
  3. I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __

Just a quick question I hope someone can answer. Can you access below the steering wheel, behind the panel? Is there a screw to remove as I cannot see anything. I assume there are modules and wiring beneath the panel just below the steering wheel and in front of your legs as you sit in the vehicle driver side.

Thanks.

Can you share a picture from your car of the area you’re trying to access?

Sure.

I want to see and access what is behind this panel. Any ideas on how to get this panel off as I cannot see any screws.

Many thanks.

First up, bookmark this link for future enquiries:

It is for an LHD car however most things are the same or very close.

I ‘think’ though it’s not clear from your photograph you are referring to the lower column cover.

Maybe it’s one of the lower panels you want

Whichever, you will find the answer in this online manual, when you access it maybe you could write a guide to help others when searching for an answer to the same question?

Thanks for this. The panel in question is the one on the second link; the driver side lower panel.

It seems then (if I have read it correctly) all that is involved is removing the bolt and moving the panel towards oneself. It seems the clips detach as you pull away the panel?

Thanks.

If that is what the diagram suggests it seems reasonable. As always any actions you carry out as a result of information obtained through this forum are at your own risk.
