hi how do i change the bulbs on the central clock/radio display unit?as its dim and bulbs need replacing thanks

With a blunt, thin bladed instrument unclip the surround and the display is held in with a couple of torx screws. On removal the bulbs can be unclipped and replaced quite easily (so they say).

If you can't get them elsewhere then Halfords stock them and they are reasonably cheap. Springfield Citroen will have them too but anybody's guess on the price you might pay there, sometimes they are surprisingly cheap, more often they aren't

In other words don't buy them from Halfords as they are silly money. I went to my local car auto shop and got half a box for a quid!

They are £2 each in Halfords and at my local car shop it is 5 for £1 and you need 3 for this unit. Oh and just to say, if one or more of them short out none will light up. If this happens check the little bits of wire on the bottom of the bulbs arn't too bent over or use a multimeter on the continuity setting to check for a short on each bulb once it is in the holder.

I bought a heap of them from eBay recently, around 10p each.
Then found the ones I bought a few years ago, also from eBay in all probability.
