Where do I start to take my dash out? I need to sort out my heater valve, my heater doesn't switch of properly.

It just pulls out. You need to remove the steering wheel first.
If the dash has been out before it may be a bit easier. There are special pullers available from MB £10 for the pair, but I have managed with just using my fingers on the side and wiggling it out.

Thanks, but I mean the whole thing, to get to to the heater pipes and valve.
