Digital Clock Display - mechanisedmyth
I have a Pug 405 TD and a Megane Diesel. both about 7/8 years old. The orange digital clock displays have gone out (The one on the Pug used to come back on with a slap) I know the mechanism still works as when direct sunlight shines on the display i can see the numbers but no illumination. Has anyone got a quick fix or can steer me in the right direction to fix it ? Many thanks

On most makes, these are backlit by those small wedge bulbs in those bayonet holders, even if the characters are themselves lit on a black background as opposed to vice-versa.

You will need to pull it out from the fascia, take it apart and replace both bulbs. On my 306, the pcb and lcd panel unplug from one another before you can get to the bulbs.
