I've just had my clocks out and noticed an empty position for a bulb directly behind the temp' gauge. I've not noticed a lack of illumination so was wondering what this is for?

I wouldn't worry about it - these clocks don't have a bulb in that position either:

Ok, cheers. What's the green plug in the picture? My cluster doesn't have that.

Not sure, offhand. There were the earlier clocks and the later ones, made by two different firms, MotoMeter and VDO, IIRC.
