406 clock

Hi can someone please tell me how to get the digital clock out of my 406 to
change the bulb. I presume there is a bulb behind it as the display is very
dim!!

Regards,
Neil

 

It's just a matter of getting a little screwdriver in the edge and going for
it,
ie lever the clock out.
You'll find the bulb is a special.
Pug dealer should have one (for a price)

Thanks for that I thought that would be the case but I wanted to make sure
before I broke it trying.

If the bulb is the same as the bulbs behind the radio & aircon display then
they're not a pug only part, just take the glass part of the bulb out of the
plastic holder

 

Hi,

I've seen very similar bulbs fit to a VDO (from memory) speed recorder,
which were really specific parts - you just can't remove the plastic holder
without destroying the bulb.
Possibly not the case here, I just wrote it in case it would be of any
information for someone, someday.

 

My message wasn't meant, and in fact didn't say that these
bulbs were some kind of Peugeot-only part.
Simply that the most likely place to get them would be a pug dealer.
I do know from experience with them that they are quite unusual
and the ones my local garage thought would do,
ended up breaking the socket
forcing me to get the soldering iron on the job.
As you, I have no idea if this is the same bulb as the one behind the aircon
or radio display.

Those bulbs are a standard "Glass with bent legs" type and readily
available at car garages like Halfords they cost about £1.40 each, a
rip off for how big they actually are lol best off taking one in next time
and say politle, may i have one of these please because the last one you
sold me was too big and broke my holder

 

You'll find they're about £1.50 each from a Pug dealer and they're special
to the in built display type radio. Most Halfords don't stock them. If your
dealers local us him to safe time and trouble. I know 'cos that happened to
me. if all else fails go to the dealer. (last resort naturally)

 

I think that's the theory my local garage went with too.
If you're sure that's the case, it musta been down to ham fists.. :-(
The one they fitted looked similar but not identical to the origional..
You can always solder to the wires though, piece of piss

Done a few of these and have advised in a previous
query.Just lever out the front with a broad flat
tipped screw driver,use a cloth protector or you
will damage facia.
Can i suggst you do a Google search in future for
these or other queries before sending it in [and I
mean all of us] it saves time as I am repeating
earlier answers.Any problems get back.Regards

 

Sorry. but I did a search and got no replies, sorry for wasting your time
but I already had the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Come on........I just searched, under Google, for 406 clock light and
got 16 hits. Try it.

Yes, a Google search is preferred and I do that before making a new post but
sometimes new info is added etc.to a new post which makes it worthwhile for
the op, and other people who may have the same problem.

I do get your point about repetitive info but a google search can provide an
inordinate amount of threads to look at and some go off topic - like your
post and mine - right from the start.

Also, it would be really fantastic if posters included just the relevant
piece of the topic and we all do not have to wade through mountains of
garage to get to the reply.

Rant over

 

You didn't waste my time,just trying to help with
advice,others may benifit.
