MG MGF Technical - light indicator bulb replacement

hiyas,

is there an easy way to get behind the dashboard to replace main/dipped headlight indicators bulbs (which have blown) without me getting a Haynes manual....?

forgot to add; just bought the car.

Hi,

more or less easy for an experianced mechanic.
Not that easy DIY job.
The indicator bulbs are located on the rear of the instrument panel. The instrument illumination bulbs are on top of the instrument.

The frame of the instrument cowl has to come off.
Instrument panel is bolt on at some brackets on top RH and LH and direct with bolts at the lower lead.
Disconnect the speedo cable in the front bonnet if it's a MGF with manual speedo.
But take always care on the transparent instrument window. It is quite brittle and brakes easy.

hi there Dieter,

~Many thanks for the info. Succeeded doing the job on my old BX (which wasn't easy!) so may try on the MGF when I get some time and good weather!
