Am I right in thinking this is some sort of fibre optic illumination distributor for the panel lights?



ETA yep I think it is and someone has changed the bulb for an LED.

Rover SD1, DRC78, I replaced the LED for a standard bulb on my 280DH as the filament bulb spreads the light equally. A@

Thanks Adrian, yes I wondered about that. The panel lights are a bit pathetic. LEDs don’t always do a good job.

Better solution is to ditch the fibre optic thingy and fit individual leds to the switches.

That looks good.
I had my console out today and tidied up all the wiring. I rebound all the loom in fabric tape, fitted a (working) radio and got it all back together. Radio works but the aerial is now stuck in the up position rofl

It’s a very tight fit. I fitted a Blaupunkt retro-looking thing with DAB and phone. I actually had to radius the bottom corners of the head unit to get it all the way into the cradle.

Job for the weekend: fix the aerial and fit a DAB splitter.
