Ashtray light cover

Post by mjb »

Yanked the ashtray out and found the light disconnected. Fair enough, reconnected it and realised there's no red cover so disconnected it again. It's not a separate part on servicebox, but can someone do me a quick favour and see if it's detachable? If so, could someone pocket me one next time they're round a breakers? :wink:

In the meantime, what would be a good substitute that won't melt?

Not round here you can't. Lucky if they've got a single white one in stock :shock:

Oh sh*t I'm an idiot!

The red bit is in the ashtray, not the base! :oops: I'll nip out and replace the bulb in a bit :oops:
