Clock bulbs - C.A.R. - 29-08-2012
Since buying the car the 2 bulbs which illuminate the clock/temp display are being somewhat temperamental. Usually you have to apply the palm of your hand to it before they will come on, ie you have to smack it.
If the bulbs were duff then they wouldn't work at all Shirley?
I've checked the plug in the back and the wires in the loom, everything looks hunky-dory. New display unit needed? New bulbs?
Anyone had this problem before?

Try taking th bulbs out and bending the contacts in slightly

Might be worth trying bulbs as they don't cost very much

Had a look on servicebox and they seem to be about £3.54 each of something? Are they the same ones as those in the speedo display? One of those is doing the same thing!

Yeah they are. Can pick them up for about 10p each on eBay. I nearly shit my self silly in the showroom when I bought some from Peugeot!
