Illumination, ore the lack of.

Was out the other evening and noticed that I could not read the digital clock or find out where the fag lighter was when it went dark. (How tiresome you may say) Never noticed this before as do not go out after dark; vampires you know.

How does the clock come out? Do I just pull at it and hope? Is there a bulb in there?

I assume that the fag lighter just unscrews in the best British Leyland fashion. Aaah the memories!!!!!

think the trick is to use 2 metal rulers, they can be a bit of a pig!! there is a small capless bulb in the back.

Or two credit cards... there are two clips on top and two on the bottom.

The lamp is fixed into a plastic base, i need to do mine too - they're available on fleabay although i'm thinking of trying an LED in place of the lamp

The ciggy lighter is on a plate just unclip from the dash as per the clock, and talking about the clock, a Rangie analogue clock is a straight swap (cannot remember the year but there is only one square one that is the same size as yours) except you will need the bulb and holder from a Rangie, I did this and also painted the hands orange and then took out the dash and did the same with the speedo ect. Added red dash bulbs and it looks the dogs dangly bits day and night! And you can see the time in the sunlight, hmmm I assume the designers only worked at night or at least in the shade when they came up with that digital version?


I posted pics in Disco pics, here are a couple of links,

Ang on... we're talking about different models here!

My post refers to a 300

Which is what you've got - reading your other posts!

Also reading RAVE, fag lighter requires removal of the centre console - might just be able to pull it out if your a rougharse though!

Sorry, I assumed it was the 200tdi digital clock, I did check the post to see what car he had but it was not mentioned, if I assumed wrong then I apologise for wasting your time.

BTW what is this? http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/illumination-lack-76672.html
