I have lost the fuel gauge bulb.
How easy to fix?

Once you've got he instrument panel out, the light is just a push fit. According to he book, to remove the panel you have to take off the steering wheel, steering column covers, switches and airbag spring, but I'm sure some ingenious person out there has a short cut

I have found you can take the instrument cluster out without removing the steering wheel or it's surrounding plastics.

Put the steering wheel in it's lowest position and pull the binacle off. Then there's three screws holding the cluster in place. Undo those and the cluster will come forward enough to unplug the wiring.

As Jason says... just becareful pushing the dial cluster back.......make sure the plastic thingy's are lined up at the back...before pushing the cluster back, I broke one, no big deal but annoying....
