I believe if you open the boot there are a couple of panels in the lining that come off. Then there are thumbscrews that release the clusters and also connectors to remove. It in the manual

Crafty,
Exactly as Digiman says, they come off very easily. If you are then changing a bulb there are then about 6 plasitc clips to spring back. Be careful they look very cheaply made and the sort of plastic that will snap of when you try to spring them particullarly if cold and lay the cluster down on something soft while you do this as otherwise the outside lens plastic will get scratched (don't ask me how I know this
). Also when refitting the cluster there is a lug you have to engage in first (slides in sideways) otherwise the cluster will not sit correctly. As Digiman says it's in the manual with pictures.
