Terryathome Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Blue dials, not thought of that one. Are they vdo dials and if so where did you get the blue bulbs from? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Hi Terry. Yes they are the VDO dials and I bought the bulbs from Ebay as they were a lot cheaper than Halfords. They do look nice as I had blue in before but a couple had blown. I am trying to paste a link but as always I cannot paste with Internet explorer. £3.75 for 10 bulbs. The seller is budgetmotorspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh almost forgot find out what is causing the gear leaver to rattle and fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
