dashboard lights

Post by andrew1608 »

I have got a rapier 2lt 2001 model, i have recently noticed that the area where the rev counter is a bit dark so i suspect that the bulb has popped in that area, does anyone know how i would go about replacing the bulb, is it easy to access.

do a search or buy a haynes. 8 torx screws and a bit of levering is all you need.

Just buy a small set of bits from your local maplins. The security bit set in a green rubber package is well worth the £5 they sell it for
