Anyone know how easy it is to change the illumination light on a 3 dial binnacle ? (it's a clubman binnacle on an 1089 Special). Two of the lights are fine for the other dials, but the speedo one isn't working.
Taken the surround off, but can't see where the lights are.
Thanks

On mine I had little orange tags sticking out the back of the binnacle, twist these and the bulb is held inside, I found just twisting these a few times did the trick, no blown bulbs just a dirty circuit or not making correct contact

OK, thanks, and the binnacle is just held on with a couple of bolts at the side ?

 

Thanks a lot

Yes thats it remove the bolts, be careful with the printed circuits though easy damaged when they get older. If moving the bulbs does not resolve the issue check the printed circuit for breaks
