if you've got led's behind ur dials as well, make sure they are on the dimmest setting with the adjustor (makes naff all difference to brightness with LEDs) but reduces risk of them breaking

Yeah the tutorial was a great help....besides the fact that it doesn't mention the main problem in getting the front panel off!

theres a tutorial for doing that on here mate - in the tutorials section under interior i believe

and yeah i know they're a nightmare (took mine out for spraying)

I've taken it out already, which was the easy part...

Trying to get that cover in the front off the heater controls though was near to impossible! Those 2 bloody Torx 20 screws facing outwards were a right balls to get out...

I've no idea on that mate - sorry

Just a quick warning - when you take the MFD out and put it back be very careful because the plug/socket on the unit is very weak, making the pins break off easily

hmm, I think I've tried that already...

I'll just take it out again and have a look I think. Maybe I hit a bump that knocked it out..

What about the orange stain on the back on the PCB though? Something is obviously after going sideways there...

This happens on my car from time to time

TBH mate i just hit the top of the MFD and the bulb comes back on - guessing its a dodgy connection.

Sounds too easy i know but it could be worth a try

Hi peeps,

I just replaced my LEDs in the MFD with blue LEDS. They were working fine when suddenly the one on the right stopped working.. When I was replacing the LEDS, I noticed an orange stain on the back of the PCB. Could this mean a resistor has blown? When I got the car, both LEDs were working as well, when suddenly the right one stopped working as well...

I don't want to put another one in to find out it will blow too.

Thanks
