Stupid heater control bulbs!

[bkf_uk]

Ok guy's as you probably know i have a 440, so i have the evil twisty knob heater controls. anyway the bulbs are dead in the unit and i need to remove it, anyone here have an idea how to take it out?


(not my car as it's a manual, just a pic ive nicked off the net! also sadly i dont have the air con either)

I know it's a long shot, as the 480 is completly diffrent on this part but some guru out there must know!!

thanks in advance!

on the volkswagens you just grabbed the switch with a pair of pliers and yanked the front of the dial off to reveal the bulb (having wrapped the jaws in a little piece of rubber) . A straight pull btw

Not sure that will work...the unit is similar to that on the 850, when we had one the knob fell off, well snapped, revealing only plastic&no bulb.

as far as i can remember, (sorry it was a long time ago when i had to deal with it) you can just take off the three knob, so you will see the bolts wich you need to screw off, in order to take out the front panel, and underneath you find the bulbs. If not, then I remember wrong and you will have to remove the unit, wich is a bit more complicated but I can explain how, if you will need it.

Just pull off the knobs. Than prise off the panel behind the knobs with a small screwdriver starting around the corners. Behind the panel you'll find 2 small bajonet bulbs.
