    Question Getting to binnacle bulbs...

    I have a nasty feeling this involves taking the dash top off? Any explanations on this one as one of the bulbs on my clock panel has gone, and there is something a bit fungal looking (yuck) inside the speedo perspex.

    yes the top does need to come off, but its not as hard as you'd think. Bascially a screw in the top of each air vent, a couple top of the speedo & a few in the door ends
