How to Change Non-Climate Heater Control Bulbs
« on: 14 October 2007, 13:12:44 »

This is for those people in the cheap seats without Climate Control but who only have the standard Heating system (2 temperature, 1 Fan speed & 1 Direction control)
It is possible to change the bulbs without having to remove the Radio which means you can avoid loosing one of your resets or the use of the Radio if you do not have a Radio Pass if you were to disconnect power to the Radio

Here's how:

1) Open the Ashtray
2) Release the catch on the right-hand side of the inner ashtray part & remove it by pulling upwards
3) Remove the screw at the back of the ashtray & remove the outer ashtray part
4) Gently ease out the various switches & blanks starting with the Hazard switch
5) Remove the 2 screws at the base of the control panel bezel that are behind where the ashtray was
6) Pull off the 4 control knobs (2 temperature, Fan & Air direction)
7) Remove the 4 screws (1 behind each knob)
8) Gently pull the bezel forward about 5 cm (there is no need to remove either the radio or the little 'cubby-hole' to the left of the radio). This exposes the 3 bulbs at the top of the white plastic panel behind
9) Pull out all 3 bulbs & replace them regardless of whether blown or not. (If you have fat fingers carefully use small pliers to do this & do not crush the glass)
10) Switch on the lights to verify that the new bulbs work
11) Put it all back together in reverse order

The VX part for the bulb is 93190474 & cost me £0.71 each ex VAT

Note the screws are Philips type not Posidrive so use the correct type of screwdriver
