I don't have any specific diagrams to hand, but this Rail Revisited article on this period of the 180s' career notes that they were primarily used on Cheltenham, Bristol & South Wales services between 2002 & 2007, though am open to correction on this if need be.
Although this is just outwith your requested timeframe, 2008-09 saw the remaining 3 active units concentrated on the Cotswold Line, working selected services alongside the then-newly refurbished HSTs before FGW binned them off altogether in March 2009 (before re-leasing 5 units in 2012, but that's for another thread).

They also went to Hereford too back then. I can definitely remember using them multiple times on Hereford services in those days. I would be curious if they ever went as far as Penzance / Pembroke / Carmarthen / Plymouth / Swansea or any of the further parts of the FGW network. I personally can only remember them on Bristol / Bath / Hereford / Worcester / Cardiff / Exeter / Swindon services.

There are a couple of photos on Flickr showing 180s passing through Dawlish on 3rd and 5th August 2004, both captioned as the 14:35 London Paddington to Plymouth.

According to the caption of another Flickr photo, there was at least one diagram among "the first" that sounds like it worked an evening Paddington to Exeter service, before running empty to Laira, then in the morning forming a Plymouth to Paddington service.

FGW 180 diagrams from around March 2005 are archived on the Wayback Machine. They used to be on the thejunction.org.uk website. I can't verify if these are actually correct but they look legit.

From late 2004 to 2008 the 180s were used pretty much in line with the 2005 diagram list posted by TurboFintan - Paddington to the Cotswold Line and to Cheltenham, with HSTs covering the heavily-loaded peak trains in and out of London on both routes.
