Hi all
Does anyone know if the milometer has illumination when the lights are on. If so what bulbs does it take ?

Hi here's a picture of the bulbs available, no6 is listed as high beam so it could be 4or5 others might know. Yes the odometer should be illuminated.

There is but the LCD backlight is dimmed once the lights are turned on. There's a good post here that covers what you need and more :

Those genuine LR bulbs are expensive for what they are, you can find LED kits: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rov...strument-Panel-Bulbs-Set-TD5-V8-/282331806249 and get done with it

Ok it was freezing .
I got the cluster out and removed the bulb.
New one now ordered .
Consulted rave reference heater and proceeded to remove complete centre of dash .
Only to find you can change the bulb in about 2 mins and you only need to remove 2 screws.
