Can you replace warning lights in the dash?

[DanS1982]

Someone mentioned that the actual dial unit is sealed? If so, are you able to change to bulbs for the warning indicators (service, stop handbrake etc)?

And if so, where can I get these from (other than renault?)

Many thanks,

Dan

hmmm, best to have a look in the guide sections. There is one for changing all the LED's but can't remember if it mentions about the lights for the middle panel. It might though.

There is a guide, but its for a Mk1. Anyone know please before i take my dash apart at the weekend lol?

easy,

use fubars guide to takeing the dash off.
lift the dials out, remove plugs, take screws out of the back, remove plastic cover, then pop the needles off and undo the clips there and lift that bit off then youll see the circuit board. youll need either 1205 SMDs or a PLCC2 in whatever colour you need.

search richmcc for his guide, ph1 is pretty similar to ph2.

anymore PM me

Sorry for being thick, but what does SMD stand for? and where can I get them from? Std colour

They're basically tiny leds soldered onto the main board that controls your dash.

Why are you wanting to change them?

when they find a dead body thats been pushed through a steering wheel because the airbags didn't go off because the computor wasn't reset i hear that the LED's come out pretty easily

Because one is faulty... pre-heater (glow plug) light is faulty
