Speedo has packed up. Unsure if its cable or electronic. I need to know how to remove dash insert. On my own E320 W211 I have the special hooks to withdraw the insert from its retainer, wondering if its similar on this beastie?

The dash pod on these is just a push fit on a rubberised surround.You will need to remove the steering wheel for clearance(10mm hex)and then use the MB hooks carefully.Speedo is electric drive from gearbox.Also replace the illumination bulbs (286 capless) while it is out.
