New owner of a ‘78 3000 S. I have some electrical problems and need to remove the dash. Can someone advise how to do that? Or is it possible to get to the gas gauge and tach without removing the dash? Forgive me, I’m learning…

On my M it’s quite a simple arrangement, but like anything TVR there are variations.

If you open the doors, there is a small fixing, ( mine are pan head set screws with nuts,) either side in the A pillar, going through a flange on the dashboard panel.

With these undone and removed I can lift the whole panel up, away from where it rests on the steering column.
The dashboard panel hooks over the windscreen wiper screw mechanism carrier tube, once clear of this it can be tilted forward to give access to the rear.

Obviously great care is needed not to put strain on or damage wiring and depending on your particular dashboard layout the heater flexible pipes.
