This is probably a really stupid question but how do you get the cowling off a sierra steering column. I have undone the 3 screws underneath but it still won't come off and I can't see anything else to undo. I don't want to force it for fear of breaking something. I just need access to the ignition cables.

have you taken the steering wheel off too?

There is also a screw in the top next the hazard switch, the two halves do click together but once all the screws are out it should rattle about and part.

If you've removed the three screws (two on the bonnet release catch and one at the front) just give it a wiggle and it should pull off. The top half of the cowl can be left in place, as can the steering wheel.

Got it sorted. The 2 bolts for the redundant bonnet release were holding the cowling on.....doh
