Hello!
1. Undo the 4mm hex nut in the passenger side foot well and pull away the piece of plastic trim.
2. Undo the 4mm hex nut in the drivers side foot well and remove the piece of trim as in step 1.
3. Remove the 2x 4mm hex nuts located underneath the cigarette lighter and ashtray area.
4. Pull the centre console away from the dash. (note the bit with your "city" button and fog light switches etc will still stay attached. As will the heater fan and blower position knobs, but everything else will pull away) Also, REMEMBER to disconnect the wires powering the cigarette lighter. They simply pull out. Revealing below:
5. Turn on your sidelights, and the 4 small bulbs behind the remaining heater controls should light up. However, in my case, 2 of them had blown. They are 12v type 286 bulbs that can be purchased easily from places like Halfords. They simply pull out, although they are quite hard to get a grip on. I used a big piece of blue-tak to stick to them and then yank them out! To replace them, simply push the new ones in.
6. Replacing the centre console is the reverse of removal!
Hope that helps someone,
Alan
