Hi All.
I’m looking to replace the blown/renew dashboard bulbs that illuminate the controls.
Does anyone have a link or advice on where to get them?
Thank you.

Hi - I’ve not done the job myself - I need to - but I’m sure I’ve seen a YouTube video. I’ll take a look. Is yours an R8? Matthew

Hi Matthew.
Yes a R8

Thanks

Hi mate, I think I’ve got a a few spares from an R8 I broke a few years ago - how many do you need?

Hi Paul.
Hope you are well.
I’m working through them.
Starting with the cigarette lighter and working around the dashboard.
Quite a number.
Which ones have you got?

Thanks.

I’ll try and remember to look in the garage tomorrow - remind me if I haven’t replied by Monday!!

Ok

The bulbs behind the rotating ventilation controls are strange. I tried changing all bulbs but these looked almost permanently fixed in. Mine work but aren’t very bright any more, it having all gone a bit brown.

Is is really right that Rover never illuminated the window switches? Seems incredible if not. If they did my bulbs have gone - all advice welcomed.

Hi Paul,

You had a chance to look for the bulbs?

R8 uses the following instrument bulbs, a fair variety:

Code: Select all

Part No		Desc                            	Qty
CDU	3270 	Bulb and holder-14V-2W			1
EJP	1180 	Bulb and socket-14v 1.4w		12
EJP	1181 	Bulb and holder-Automatic		6
YAJ	10007	Bulb and socket-14v 3w(Blue cap)	3
YAJ	10008	Bulb and socket-14v 1.4w(Blue cap)	2
YAJ	10009	Bulb-14v 3w(Blue cap) (Amber)		1

Most are common to MGF and Land Rovers, so are still obtainable, including from RimmerBros.
