A condensed version.

Steering wheel off, Radio out, all the switches out, heater controls and bezel off, undo the screws you see. including the two inside the instrument shroud, should free the cluster cover. remove it and you see the cluster. two screws at either side at the top,remove and tilt forward. undo speedo cable, tilt further forward and lift out from retaining brackets and undo the two connectors at the bottom.

Hope that helps kinda.

I think 'modulator' has pretty well covered it there, however if do still want a comprehensive step by step guide I'm sure I can dig one out for you..........

You're very kind. I have found a very quick solution to my problem. Hit the plastic instrument panel on the centre/left hand end with a bent finger. Worked for me but I'm not suggesting it will work for everyone ! kind regards, yt.

Probably better to remove it and check which connection is loose!

I had a the same problem on a Pug after many months of hitting the dash harder and harder (not a good idea on a french car, bits fall off). I found it was the dash light dimmer control switch. I would try that while your at it. At least it just pulls off and it only dims the speedo pod and the heater control.

I'll post some pics of mine as soon as I take them. Done a nice little mod with some neons and removed the orginal bulbs. looks well trick at night now

I know the trick of removing the green plastic filter inside the cluster and refitting with coloured plastic (from college folders etc) so you can jazz the lights up.

I was wondering if the switches use a similar green plastic filter and whether its easy to change.

I'll have to try that with mine
