Re: Replacing heater control panel bulb

Do the bulbs just pull out or twist and pull, thanks again.




From what I remember they just pull out, but then again my memory is not what it was :D

Re: Replacing heater control panel bulb

I replaced mine by removing the radio which allows you to gain access and replace the bulb. Some of them are stiff and don't just pull out, if so you need to undo the two blots at the bottom of the radio slot. Once these are removed the controls come forward enabling you to change the bulb.
