    Changing a bulb in a williams

    Yep, I could have chosen a Bosch or Halfords bulb (both 12v 1.2W 286) but the Halfords one looked better made. (Im a product designer, so I know these things) Thanks guys for the info on how to remove the heater panel, I really need to sort a Haynes manual. Ebay here I come.

    Changing a bulb in a williams

    Right next job. Has anyone ever had any problems with the backlights on the heater controls working intermittently? They sometimes come on when I’ve been over a bump. But the rest of the time they stay off. I think it could be a loose connection (but where). Still no Haynes manual yet –...
