Many Thanks. It came out easily as previously described - 4 cross head screws and then had to unclip the two instrumentation leads with a bit of a squeeze. Bit of lateral thinking to orientate the panel to remove it from behind the steering wheel. The holders come out easily with long noze pliers with a 1/4 turn. Bulbs pulled out easily with fingers. The panel had 4 large bulbs which I replaced with R501 12V 5W capless bulbs - these had all gone black. And 8 small bulbs which I replaced with R286 12V 1.2W capless bulbs - all for about

I have just done the same thing, and it is really simple mate. There are 2 screws holding the plastic cover around the dials. Remove them, and then carefully pull the surround out. There is a screw on each side of the dials themselves, remove them and then tilt the dials forward, and pull one side out so as you can see the back of them. In each of the holes, there is a bulb which you can replace. There are 2 types of bulb, both capless (all glass), one big and one small that fit into the individual holders. They are only something like 50p from your local motor factors. Hope that helps Many thanks - I will have a go on Saturday. I did not want to end up with my display in bits and not be able to sort it out.

I have a 1988 Galaxy Ghia X TDI and after 240,000+ miles enough of the display illumination lights have now failed such that night operations now require the use an LED tealight to see the dials. How easy is it to remove the display to get to the bulbs? Any issues? Is it possible to replace the bulbs. Does any one have any part numbers? Any issues in removing them? If I do this is it worth replacing all the bulbs in which case how many will I need? All help would be much appreciated to brighten up my old friends display once again. Thanks
