Lower the steering wheel and pull it out to it maximum setting, in the binicle around the clocks above the speedo and rec counter you should have two screws? remove these and prise the binnicle out at the top and unclip it from its lower mounting, now you can see the clocks? at either side near the top there are two more screws, remove these and the clocks will now tilt down from the top allowing you access to the multi plug/s #at the back, unplug this/these and guide the clock out of the dash

change the bulb and refit the clocks (mileometer will reset to last milage but trip will clear) to replace all the parts without breaking anything and Bobs yours uncle :(

 

 

# Amount of plugs depends on whether you have the infomation center or not

OK sorry its a bit late but got around to changing the bulb.

Undid the 2 bessle screws and then hinged the instruments forward and then out a bit, reached around the back with some pliers and undid the bulb holder by twisting. Replaced the offending bulb which had gone black and silver :o and all sorted.

Thks for the advice just took longer to get around to doing it.

By the way this car has had more bulbs go than all my other 10 cars have ever had in 22 years of driving :lol:.

Great car all the same.

Cheers Lads hope you all well.

Hi, can you tell me what the partnumber of the bulbs are and where did you get them from. My car has had them go before as the person that I got it from has broke the plugs that the blubs sit in, so I need them as well. Any help will be great.

The bulb holders are part of the bulb! most likly cause of the being broke is that someone has tried to change them by removing the bulb from the holder!

the bulbs are 1.2Watt panel bulbs, they can be picked up from most good auto spares shops
