Yeah its an easy repair!! I dismantled mine, and soaked the casing in bicarbonate of soda worked a treat and removed all the dirt and grime. Now I just need to replace the batteries as they have leaked! I am having a trouble in locating them, I wish I could attach pictures but I dont know how to.

when i bought my car i noticed that the torch was missing and i was a bit gutted, :(

stripped my dash out a few weeks ago and it fell out. haha :o
