Lightbulb

Have you removed the cilimate-control unit from the holder? (The white boxy-looking thing with the bulbs sticking out of it).

If so then you need to open it up and use a screw-driver to remove the bulbs from the circuit board directly. Each of them has a slot in which to position the screw-driver and then just turn them half an hour or so and they should become loose.

Sry, if I'm overcomplicating things. Just reply again and if you're still stuck, I'll send pictures.

Well, I've searched high and low but found no alternative that will fit in the bulb holder. Bit the bullet and forked out £23 for the three dash bulbs. Painful, but the dash looks good now! Two days later my fan blower packed up again, pulled the resister device out and refitted the transistor and it works ok now. One of the wires in the assembly looks split so I may have a bad connection.
