Dear All Merry Xmas & A Happy new year!!!

Just wondered if anyone else has this problem?, when I turn on the light switch to light up all the instrument panel etc the light that is supposed to light the heating dials sometimes works & sometimes does not. Usually I give it a light tap on the side of the console and it comes on.

I am thinking either dodgy connection/dodgy bulb, is it a major job to take a look? ie strip out console.

Any help would be welcomed!

Thanks

Jason

No bud not major at all......
1 bulb thats all, cant remember which switch it is behind...

When i did mine I used a pair of long nose plyers with some insulation tape on, to remove the bulb :grin:
