I have a fault on the dash lights, its the display that shows the average mpg, outside temp etc. The whole dispaly has gone red, it used to flicker on and off but now permanently red. you can just about see the figures in daylight but not at night. Any ideas what might cause this fault.

Might be a blown bulb/led behind the display panel. No idea how to access that. Good luck.

But surely if a bulb had blown the lights would all go out?
