Can anyone tell me how to change the display colour from amber to green?

Many thanks.

you can't
they came in either green or amber
the only way is to get a replacement facia with amber illumination (good luck with that)

Bugger = friend of mine thought they could be changed.

I have amber at the moment the search for green commences :-)

Yep that's the one - mine has the changer in the boot - all works fine just prefer the green look rather than the amber.
