Disco 1 instrument panel

Does anyone know how to get the instrument panel off in order to
replace the bulbs behind the heater dials in a Disco 1.

Yes, and that's why my bulbs never got replaced, it's a monumental PITA!

I developed a tactile and memory method to control the heater!

You start by removing the entire centre console (the one that contains
gear lever etc). It is held in by lots of screws in lots of obscure
places

Once you have done this, you are then able to gain access to the lower
screws that hold the fascia surround in place, again obscure screws in
obscure places

Believe me, it is not easy, the whole process wil take an afternnon
just to change a couple of bulbs, which should basically be a 5 minute
job.

As we said, its easier to leave them!
