Most likely the bulbs, if you look in the maintenance section there are guides to changing both the climate and dash bulbs :y
one more thing the speedo doesnt work
The speedo runs off the ABS system so you'd need to get the sensor on the wheels checked, off the top of my head can't remember which one of the rear sensors drives the speedo.
the engine managment light is on after changing rocker cover gaskets
thank you very much
You need to do a paperclip test to determine why the EML is on, could be something not plugged back in or a trapped wire or completely un-connected :y

Thanks DB, I couldn't remember ;D :y

thankyou very much thats helped alot, are they cheap enough to pick up or can it be repaired?
-
Bulbs are very cheap from Vx. ABS sensor may just have been dislodged, check it and maybe contact one of the breakers on here for a spare to try it. Did you do a paperclip test to get the codes?
-
jst about to, found and printed off the fault codes, does the engine have to be running on mycar??
is there topic on removing the digital controls to change the bulbs on the das center, do you know off hand how many i need??
-
Do the paperclip test with the engine off on yours, leave the ignition off, fit the clip and swith ign to number 2 :y
Climate bulb change how to is http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1162120610 and as per how to you need 5 bulbs. Best to do all 5 at the same time and definately clean the fan at the top rear of the panel while it's open :y
[edit]An additional tip so save some scraped hands next time they need changing. Put 2 cable ties on each end of the release bar for the climate panel. Pull them tight with the excess pointing down but don't cut them off! You'll understand why when you try removing your panel the first time ;)[/edit]

you are a star, thankyou very much. now will be able to see the panel now.
