Right listen carefully now children
First off get a small flat blade screwdriver, and lever down the vents like so:
then push in either side whilst pulling the vent to unseat it:
and finally pull it out:
do the same with the other side, you will then see two cross head screws, one either side:
remove these and the MFD will lift out like so:
behind the MFD is a connector, press the top part and pull gently:
Next pry off the hazard switch:
then the heater control knobs, first the two outer ones:
then the centre one, this one you need to push the scredriver into the gap at the bottom to release a clip inside:
Next pry off the slider knob:
and then the slider cover:
now you will see two more cross head screws, remove these:
right, back at the top, under where the MFD sits you will see these clips holding the facia on, unclip em:
Now pull the facia off, can be a bit of a bitch but it will come off eventually:
Now you will see the body of the centre console, here is where the bulbs go, as you can see i didnt have any:
the bulbs look like this:
they just push in, bit fiddly but they do go in, check them by turning on the ignition:
I found an old LED version i got from Cobra but god knows where he has gone:
To put everything back its basically the reverse of the above.
while i was at it i re-soldered the connections on my broken MFD and changed the bulbs for some red LED's:
one its all back it should looks something like this:
Hope this quick tutorial helps.
