On top of the center console there's a display ... it's not working. Anyone? Is this a known issue?
(sorry about the many topics, but I'm trying get this van fixed up)

I don't know if it is a "known issue" but my display comes and goes as the mood takes it. Apparently it is easy to replace but you will not know if its the display of the main computer that is the problem. If you can do without then do without - at least that way you won't waste any time or cash.

The clock is known as an 'MFD' or 'EMF' in French. Have a search and you'll find quite a few threads on that subject.

Are you sure its not working as when the bulbs in the display have blown you can hardly see the numbers. The bulbs are easy to replace as is the whole unit.
Are we there yet?????

The bulbs (2) are standard 12v festoons, with metal caps at both ends. The centre tray which the display lives inside is simply clipped into place; you can remove it by levering it up along both side edges with something like a paint scraper. Then the display can be lifted out and unplugged. Both bulbs went in my first Bee, almost at the same time. Considering that every single lamp in the instrument panel is an LED, it's surprising these aren't as well.

When it's cold and damp ours just loses the odd segment of the display which is sometimes confusing when you glance at the time and date.
So where does this bit go then ?
