I had a practice at the breakers yard on a clio so i was able to get at the bulbs for the lcd display on my own today. Its quite a long process considering its just a bulb. I took pictures of how it was done.
The first thing to do is to pry off the trim above the glove box lid, screwdrivers work, but since the plastic isn't very strong id advise using plastic pry tools:
under that there is 3 torx bolts which need to come off:
There is another bit of trim on the drivers side which needs pryed off:
and one torx bolt:
with that done there is a pair of torx bolts at the bottom of the speedometer, but i couldn't get anything in to remove them so the steering wheel surround need to come off, its just clipped into place, so pry it off to reveal the bolts:
Then there is 3 torx screws at the front of the dash by the windscreen, a flexible screwdriver attachment is good for removing them:
they are slightly smaller than the other torx bolts:
the A pillar trims looked like they were sitting in the way so they came out, it helps to pull the seals out first before prying at them, i found prying the top and then pressing in on the clip is the best way to remove them, there is another 2 clips further down but the top one needs released:
now on each side of the dash there is two small plastic rivet screws, they come out with a torx head bigger than the other screws done so far:
one bit unscrews and then the bit that remains can be easily pulled out of the dash
Now all the fittings are out of the way, its just a case of prying and pulling the dash out, above the glovebox needs some prying, a screwdriver is really whats needed:
i put my hand on the windscreen air vent and tried to pull the dash backwards, it seemed the middle part was held in, so placing the pry tool in the gap between the central air vent seemed to release clips:
the tools need to be pressed in quite a bit, but the dash should unclip:
Move the part out of the car, its a bit fiddly, putting the steering wheel down helps, try not to scratch the dash when taking it out and set it down safely while you get the clock out:
them clips on the inside:
Now its time to remove the MFD, although if your speedo or airbag is at fault they seem easy to get out at this stage:
Here is the display, in my car its dim on one side which on a bright day means i can't see the time:
on the left and right of the display are plastic tabs, press down on them and pull the display backwards:
it should now be loose:
undo the clips at the back, they are them lever type:
The display is now out of the car:
you could probably just change the bulbs with it in the car i just wanted to clean the lcd.
Here are the bulbs at the back they just twist out:
if you disassemble the display here is how the bulbs look like from the front:
the broken bulb:
replacement bulbs are probably available on the internet, but i had a few spare 406 MFD's lying in the attic so i took two of the bulbs from them tested them on the multimeter and put them into the clios display:
Plug the two wires back into the back of the display, now at this point check if the new bulbs work its easier now than after the dash goes on:
click the display back into place:
Put the dash back on, its the reverse of removal, although i accidentally broke the plastic bar that goes below the speedometer pressing it past the steering wheel, although its fixed now with some superglue. Its nicer not to break it so its worth watching this part. The central clips press the dash into them i though the dash went down into them but its just straight back.
As for the A pillar trims, they need to be seated properly at the bottom for the door seal to sit right.
And here is the evenly lit display:
