My S reg 2.0 litre laguna Executive has a LED readout for the milage and computer functions ie oil level check at start etc. It has now got so I cannot read it only in the dark with the lights turned off. It is displaying the milage and all other functions but is just not there in daylight.
Is there a dashboard illumination control? Usually it's a thumbwheel on the dashboard down behind the steering wheel somewhere.
Knowing Renault it's probably only accessible if you detune the radio and open the sunroof...
The bulb(s) behind the LCD has probably blown. Replacements cost pennies.
I have never taken the instrument cluster out of a Laguna to change the bulbs however, I'd hazard a guess that it's probably not a lot of fun.
I've done it and it does not take long. A couple of screws around the display area housing and it will pull off. The trick is to remember that your steering wheel is adjustable and pulls out towards the driver. This gives you enough room to remove the small consol area and replace the LED's. Mine were 30p each from a local car shop. Can be done in 30 mins once you remember to pull the steering wheel out and local the screws which were underneath if I remember correctly.
tarmacfitter thanks for the info I wiil try this as soon as possible
Give the top of the dash a really firm whack. Works on Italian cars, should work on French.
Nono, on French cars, that causes the entire instrument pack to crumble into dust.
