Good Morning All,
Dashboard, I have upgraded the lumination to blue, so that it shows of the nice white clocks but the battery warning LED has stopped working. I have checked it with a direct feed and it is DEAD!
What type are they? 3mm 5mm just want to check before I order replacement from Maplins or such

Behind the indicator panel in the centre of the speedo box jobby that dispays battery, indicator, oil, diesel light etc

If the coolent light flashes but the temp doesn't go high its probubly low coolent level in the header tank under the engine lid - the warning lamp does coolent level aswell as overheating! If the tank isn't completely full then top it up and blead the rad. If it is full then the switch or wireing is broken. For the dash lights try wobbleing the dash conector plug first. Genrally the LEDs don't break so I'd be suspisous if more than 1 fail at once, its probubly wireing rather than the LEDs - check it out. I think the dash bulbs are type 509t - basicly whatever the standard dash bulbs with the plastic bases as that most cars use.

Hi Guys,
They are 5mm LED's , beautiful, but now the dodgy connections / BREAKS on the PCB have started playing up, BIG TIME
Bit of chasing breaks and searching for dry joints needed
