backlights are 232590 in the parts book
I think it's a type MES10, 2.2W 12V, screwbase.

Main beam is probably the same.

Cheers Tobi just what I need. Don't trust the dealers who seem to say things are obsolete when they aren't which is what Paddocks told me about the speedo drive worm

I got one in an original Landy box from Craddocks

Thanks everyone for your help.
Just been to Paddocks but they assured me they were OBSOLETE

and could only be found at Tandy

Just ordered some from Brookwells on the internet before I opened Landyzone and found your replies :doh:
Just shows that not all parts sellers are to be relied on.

here is another good place...... Bulbs

Cheers MHM now got bulbs coming out of my **** Much appreciated.

Yes, it's a MES - easy to confuse with LES bulbs which are smaller. Maplins do one but it has a more tubular shape and I'm not sure it will fit happily in the holder.
(Smartarse time - Miniature/Lilliput Edison Screw, a smaller version of the mains domestic ES and SES screw base bulbs. I've got "O"levels, me!)

Fitted new bulbs at the weekend and at last I can see the speedo waving about

The difficult bulb was the backlight it was a bas**d to get in and out for some reason.
Thanks for everyone's help.
