406 D8 Odometer Bulb

[daddypugwash]

Hi,

I have an odometer that is a dull as ditchwater, which leads me to conclude the bulb has failed. Does any body know which type of bulb I need? (R Plate, GLX May 98) I am little relcutant to take the binacle out unless I have the right bulb to hand. The digital clock bulb was a pain as although Halfrauds sold the 286 bulb, the bulb was soldered into the osram plastic hex holder, which is beyond by soldering skills! (I managed to find a replacement bulb in a holder whch should be with me in a few days, it's the right type I will post details). Any ihformation greafully rec'd.

Thanks

I usually just liberate a load from the scrappy if some other kind soul has already removed the dials.

Hi,

Job Done - 509Ts did the job - 50p + "the dreaded" a pop from Autoparts. What I did discover was that the factory fit bulbs (mine is 98 and it looks like the bulbs are all factory fit) come out with bulbs in a white plastic holder. You can remove the bulb from these and fit a new one. I just fitted the 509T, which seems to work well enough. Thanks for the input from tenwierdufos.
