Backlight Bulbs blown on 'screen'
« on: 08 December 2009, 16:29:42 »

On my 2.5 P Reg Omega the backlight blulbs have blown on the 'information screen' (forgotten the correct term for it....the thing that lists fuel consumption, range, faults etc etc!)

The screen is still working........if the sun (remember that?) is shining in the right way then you can just about make out the information on there.

Is this an easy job to do?

I'm assuming I have to remove the stereo ....sadly I've lost the tool that takes it out though  >:(

pretty easy to do:  need to take instrument cluster out:  about 7 screws, usually hidden behind the air vents and stuff:  had to do this on a veccy B a few times, never an Omega.  I'd have a look at the Haynes book of lies to see if they give any clues
