Plus points: easy job.
Minus points: age of van, plastic, replacement bulbs slightly different from OE, replacing instruments and surround.
So. You'll need a Torx screwdriver, and new bulbs.
Get the shroud/cover off the steering-wheel column, grey plastic box behind steering wheel from whence indicator/stalks protude, two screws underneath, spring clip retainer on bottom half pulls off.
Unscrew the two screws to the top and right-habd sides of the plastic shroud that surrounds the instrument cluster. There's a screw underneath, too - look up and under from the edge of the seat/footwell, to the right-hand side of the steering column, above the ignition switch.
Remove the three screws holding the centre air vent in. Gently wiggle and pull the vent out.
Lower the steering column as far as it will go.
Pull off the instrument cluster shroud, being careful to gently persuade projections on it past the lip of the hole in the dash.
Unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the instrument cluster that hold it in. Gently pull the whole cluster forward so that you can see the back of the thing.
You will see lots of bulbs, or the back of them, anyway. These unscrew 1/4 turn and pull out.
I tested my van's bulbs individually, but there was a better way as I discovered after doing that! Switch on the ignition and operate whatever causes the bulbs to light during normal driving - hazards, high/low beam, lights. You can see which bulbs are working and which are not as they shine from the back of the instrument cluster.
Replace blown bulbs. Replace the lot if you've got enough new ones,
Replace the instrument cluster (a bit of orangy OE foam rubber steadies the top).
Replace the oval instrument shroud. Screw on the screw underneath if you think it worthwhile.
Replace the air vent. N.B. the pladstic is extremely fragile where the steel clips for the screws fit in. The inner two of mine broke off - the plastic was so fragile that looking at it made it bust, so I bent some thin steel sheet and made bigger clips.
In all I had six burned-out bulbs. The most important of these was the bulb that illuminated the milometer/odometer/mileage indicator, which had blown so the mileage was not illuminated.
So, now I know the van's done about 200,740 miles!
