But what the pictures do not show is for a facelift you need to remove the top plate of the steering column housing by unscrewing two screws accessed by turning the steering wheel to left and then right 90/180 degrees, and lifting off top housing.  This will give (just) the right clearance for the extraction of the clock housing for bulb holder removal / replacement.  :y :y

Hi,
Lamps for the Tacho / Speedo are 3w Capless type (on the 02 3.2 anyway)

Similar shape & size to type 501 (but this is a 5 W)

When you have it out, change the four lamps for the MID.

The panel lamps will probably be blackened so you might as well change them all, I can't remember if there are three or four.

Ta, good idea - if i could only figure why the temperature/blower controls  (center console) lamps light intermittantly all would be perfect :).

I would also add that the Vx (Caffyns) part numbers are  
 VAU 093190932    full price £1-03 each ex-vat
 VAU 093190467      "     "    £0.72   "     "    "
                
for both large and the small (warning light) bulbs you may need whilst having the clock unit out  (sorry, but I cannot remember which no. related to which size of bulb :-/ :-/; the unit price may not reflect the size as the small one comes complete with a holder!)   :y

I hope this helps. :y
