hello i have disco 1 200tdi 1993 model

may diff lock is workin but now light ???

i have searched the forum and ther seems to be 2 ways i think to check the bulb ...

take the centre console out and earth the wire to see if the light bulb lights up! and to take the bulb out...this is the one i tried to do..

got the plasic covering off unpluged the wires to the rear wiper etc then got confused as ther is a metal coverin that holds the unit in ???
it doesnt say about this in the haynes manual... is this supose to be ther if so how can i get the unit out ??? i noticed some bolts which were to the metal casing is it these that i need to remove ? or is something else ??

also would you recommend another way off doin it ?

cheers in advance

The difflock light is on the dashboard not the centre console. it's dead centre between speedo and rev counter. You need to remove the screws holding the plastic surround in place. and then remove the instrument cluster. bulb is in the back.
 
cheers for the reply

yeh i took the dashbord apart but as i took the plasic bit off with the buttons on (rear wiper and volume control buttons)

ther was a metal coverin on the dash so i couldnt get to the bulb as i couldnt get the console out because of the metal bit how do i get that off ?? please ?

cheers anthony

ya got me beat then if it's a 200 you just remove the dash clocks to change the bulb.
 
which will be easier guys to check the bulb for the diff lock ?

earthing the switchin wire ? or just checking the bulb itself by takin dash out ?
