this link is for changing instrument cluster bulbs in principle it is exactly the same for changing speedo cable, and I would strongly recommend changing dash bulbs as well I didn't and soon after had to remove cluster again. A right pain in the ar5e!! you can get bulbs and holders from VAG if you get the white bulb holders you get a 2W bulb compaired to 1.2W which makes a big difference.

good luck with it

Thanks mate

I'll hunt down a VAG speedo cable from somewhere, there is a VW specialist almost opposite my office and their info states they have a lot of stock for all ages of VW so worth a try. At the same time i'll sort out the white bulb holders.

Thanks very much for everyone's help and i'll update you once i've started work on it.

Got new tyres to sort out first, there's a whole other can of worms
I'm opting for Vredestein (I think that's how you spell it)

I forgot to ask, is there a part number for the white bulb holders as they may look at me blankly when I ask
