1 Drop steering wheel to lowest level
2 Remove 2 screws and drop the bottom cover under the steering wheel. Pull down slightly to unclip the 2 top pins that locate the centre panel above, either side of the steering column. No need to remove completely.
3 Pull off the centre panel which runs either side of the steering column. Unplug the Diff Lock & Mirror / Fog / Dash / Headlight switches, and put panel to one side.
4 Remove the 2 screws under the top of the instrument binnacle and gently prise forward, complete with both vent assemblies. There are 2 push on clips on the extreme end lower corners of the wood surround. Twist out and slide out behind the steering wheel, and put to one side.
5 Remove the 4 screws that hold the instrument cluster in place. Pull forward and twist so you can get behind the right hand side. You can now replace lamps, or:
6 Unplug the 4 plug in connectors and remove the instrument cluster – slide and spin forward to remove.
7 To get to the Auto selecter indicator, unclip the center panel and remove. Spare lamps are available in the unused slots.
8 Make sure you test all the lamps before re-assembly goes too far!

Once done it is not too bad a job, just be careful with the wood surround.
