I've decided to fix some of the problems on the car in an attempt to get a year or two more life out of it. I've already tacked the dodgy idle and the rear pads. On to the odometer light. Being a relatively modern car, it has an LCD odometer, and the backlight bulb failed a couple of years back. We have no idea of the milage. All we know is that it's more than 120,000 miles. That's that last number we saw before the display went black. So, new bulb purchased, time to dismantle the dash to fit it. It's not any easy task, Vauxhall made sure of that, cleverly hiding the mounting screws behind vents that are next to impossible to remove without breaking them. 'Better by Design' my ar**! But, I persisted and after an hour or so found that I had the wrong bulb. No problem, I can make that work. Another hour and the dash was back in and I turned on the ignition only to find that we still have no idea of the mileage. There it was clear as day -] ] - -. .Yes there it was. Sometime since the bulb blew, the LCD display has corrupted. I'm a bit cross. Here's the failed bulb.
