Trip Computer Lighting 850 T-5

Apr 30th, 2003, 16:55

Hi

My trip computer lighting seems to have gone up the spout e.g. with the lights on the rest of the dashboard is fine but the trip computer stays unlit. Any ideas or anyone experienced this before?

Thanks

I had the same happen on both my 850 and C70. Can you believe that it is a dash-out job? Unless someone knows otherwise.

With the 850 I waited for a warranty job to crop-up (evaporator!) and something similar arose with the C70. Had the bulbs done then. 50p each as I remember.

Hope you find an easy solution

It is a dashboard top out job not the full dash, so should only take about 45 mins. I did my 1992 850 last year. You really need a copy of the Haynes manual to show you where all the screws are though ! If you have a passenger airbag fitted though, it may be more complex & further advice sought.

Cheers,

John.
