Just tried that on mine and it didn't work. I pulled fuse no. 16 which says it's the combi instrument and glovebox light. i presume it's the right one?

check out the braided earth cable from the rocker cover to the coil bracket next, then retry the fuse.  You'll know its the right one when the MFA goes blank ;)

Cable seems ok but it still dont work. On my fusebox cover it says that fuse 3 is for the rear numberplate lights :shocked:
These are motometer clocks btw

sounds like it :(
Did the MFA display go blank?  The other optiuon is to disconnect the battery for 30 seconds ;)

Battery is the solution on mine as I disconnect it at night and this happens quite often. Just take it off again and re-connect.
