the question came up the other day. It is quite fidly as you need to get at the screws behind the dash. Best to atke the side of the glovae box out and the radio. Once you have the OBC out it is simple. Which one has gone? the buttons or the display light (there are 2)

The display lights are soldered to a white plastic carrier and cost about Ԛ£18 from the dealer. If you have a soldering iron the go to maplins and get the bulbs themselves for about Ԛ£1.
