So a little 99p bulb had gone in the A/C unit of the Range Rover. Meaning you couldnt see the temp readouts.

Finally got round to pissing about today - of course you have to remove two side panels, a switch control unit, the gear surround, and all in a certain order...

Got the A/C unit out, went to Halfords, bought my (over-priced) bulb for £2.50.

Fitted it, tested, all good. Cleaned out 10 years of dust and dirt. All good. Put it all back together.

Cleaned the car and was putting it back in the garage with a certain satisfaction of a job well done.

Now one of the other bulbs has gone so the red/blue passenger button doesnt light up.

ARGH!! Lesson. Do ALL the bulbs whilst you have it in pieces!!!!

On the plus side I rekon I can get it all out and done again in half the time next time, with half the swearing and no skin removed!
