Eventually the dash on my VX will need to come off, so that the speedo converter can be changed & reposistioned. Also the ashtray compartment lid will no longer shut so that will have to be replaced as well.
The small green bulbs that illuminate the dash seem to blow pretty quickly, especially under the heating controls. I reckon 2 or 3 have gone.
Anyone know where you can get these from in the U.K? I've never seen them anywhere!

Been told a very expensive job indeed, the peanut bulbs are cheap but require the whole dash coming out!

Pulling the dash out is pretty straight forward, and not too big a job. You can pratice on mine if you want, cause got to pull it out again as forgot to plug in a wire for the airconditioner when I put my new dials in.

Oops!!!
Mark at LSV took my dash out & put it back again pretty speedily last time. It's not obvious to a layman (like myself) though. Practise makes perfect!
