www.cpc.co.uk . I've posted the part numbers before, so a forum search will produce them.

Correct lamps are 5V, and AFAIK, Maplins only sell 6V types.

i got the bulbs for my obc from halfords, 1.2w not 2.3w. i take it you mean for the strip behind the display? bmw wanted 25quid for 1! i managed to solder the bulbs into the circuit board, bit tricky but only cost a couple of quid!
