Default 940 gauge bulbs.

I don't expect its very hard, but the bulb behind the dashboard temp gauge has blown.
How do I get at it please?
The bulbs look green, so where do I get one/some??

Thanks, Shaun

You can replace that bulb without removing the cluster, just undo the trim under the dash and insert your hand up there until you feel that big socket at top.

It's the cluster that has the green hue, the bulbs are standard t10 504 3w:

The cluster on a 940 is fairly easy to remove. This video, which is not up to the poster’s usual standard, shows the only tricky bit.

No need to remove the steering wheel or any more of the dash as on some vehicles. However, if you have an HPT model with the boost gauge in the dash then I find it is easiest first to pull the vacuum hose off from underneath by first removing the trim above the pedals.
