If it follows any logical pattern, you may need a needle puller to remove the needles from the shafts.....
A needle puller is like a tiny hub puller, a thin central pin and 2-3 legs to hold the needle, you turn the centre screw which pushed the pin down and pulls the needle off the shaft.....
We use them at work to calibrate dial gauges etc for the test and inspection gear.

I think Stefan is refering to removing the instrument binicle from the dash? Check Rave for the instructions.

Surely you don't need to remove needles to put back light bulbs in LCD?

Usual reason for LCD not being visable is backlight bulbs blown. Not a fault with the LCD itself. You maybe going to ruin a instrument panel for the price of a 50 pence bulb.

L322's suffer from pixelated faulty dash displays which entail a complete instrument cluster strip down to repair. Known fault on the 2002 on Range Rovers.
Actually, you don't have to remove the needles at all, even to repair the LCD. Check RRspeedo.com. They have a very reasonably priced repair kit and instructions. I've just completed this on an L322. Wasn't too easy, but worked out fine. Of course, now I do have to fix one needle because the goofball that tried it before me mucked things up pretty good. If anyone reading this is on my side of the pond and needs this done, PM me. I'm in NE Ohio, USA.

hi nice introduction:nopics:
Hi wil2813. I'm not sure if your post was meant with sarcasm or not. I'm sorry if I'm out of line. The procedure involves gently pulling back the speedo fascia a bit to drill 4 holes behind it for access to the screws that hold the LCD in place. I didn't take pics b/c I was following the photos in the instructions, which I believe are copyrighted. It hadn't occurred to me to take my own photos during the repair. Here is a pic of the result, for what it's worth. You can see a bit of the drilled area between the speedo and tach faces. Only two of the 4 holes actually require moving the fascia:

If you remove the instrument needles, you will need to have kit to calibrate the instruments when you re-fit the needles.
