the mk3 dash comes out in 10 minutes when ur fitting the new dash u may aswell fit the heater assembly from the mk4/5 aswell as the mk3 1 is wire operated and the 4/5 is electronically and via a soleniod, u'll need to cut a letterbox size hole in the top of the bulkhead on the passenger side u'll need the A-pillar trim from the 4/5 as the mk3 1's are too short removing the 4/5 can be a pain in the arse (well it is when the cars in the scrapies and 3 cars off the deck  ), theres a strengthening bar located inside the dash, u dont need thatur mk3 dash is held on with 3 bolts on the top of the dash just below the windscreen, when fitting the new dash u need to "hook" the middle hole on the new dash OVER where the middle hole is on the bulkhead (u'll see what i mean when u do it  ), securing the dash with bolts down the sidethe space between the fuse box and accelerator pedal is quite close (i sometime hit it with my foot and my feet aint that big), so what i did was move the box higher behind the dash creating a lot more room, but i could still access it if need be  thats all i can remember off the top of my head, if u hit any probs gime a shout, cause im pretty sure i'll had had the same when i did mine  worth it in the end though m8

couple of other things ive just remembered when going into 3rd u sometimes scrape ur knuckles (u soon learn how not to though) and the hoses that come from the heater to the vents in the dash, 1 of them need to be extended, easy enough though

yeah, ive got mk5 (zetec-s clocks in mine), think they look better with the rev counter and whte background the sswitches are easy, the heater is a little tricky but nothing to loose sleep over, my mk5 clocks use a different plug to the 1 in the mk3, not sure which plug the mk4 clocks use, but wiring them is also easy
