On-board dash clock

if it's like the earlier clocks, then the clock pulls out and there's a little bulbholder in the back.

I used two small screwdrivers to ease the clock out, there are little tabs that hold it in. Two credit cards should work as well. Richard

We always have a couple of Credit Cards handy in the Landy don't we? Good for nothing else when they're maxed out! Wolverine

you need two credit cards when you have to go to main dealer to get a new clock and the trim youve broken !!! Richard

so Richard was, like...

Memo to self: repair dash clock before going to LRO show, then no excuse to carry credit cards.

Yes, a little bulb behind it, you can prise the clock out and take the bulb down to your local halfords and it'll cost you about 1.99. Can't remember the bulb model sadly, but they do sell them.

They have Halfords in Oz?

Whoops :) Hrm, dunno then!

Nope....sounds like a good name for a beer though....!!!! A "pint of Halfords please" has a certain flavour to it....!!!

I will attack the clock today, although a couple of posts don't instill a great deal of confidence....!!! Nothing like a challenge particularly when credit cards are involved.

Cheers.

or Oz equivalent...

make which kind of bulb holder - some have captive bulbs, some don't. In the former case, you get the bulb and holder. Why, I have no idea.

Assuming that the clock is the same as the one on the Freelander you'll be able to find the bulb at Super Cheap Auto. I'd tell you which kind it is exactly but I can't find my credit card to remove the clock housing :) When I bought mine a year ago it cost about $3.

That said, the one that they sell has a small metal casing around the base, which you'll have to remove *carefully*. I went through two of the things because I wasn't careful.
