The centre dashboard display "radio, fuel, time etc." is getting dimmer. Used to happen when the sun got on it but now most of the time so that its hard to read in daylight. Still dims when lights are turned on. Any ideas or is it just a case of replacing it? Many Thanks

On Mk3 you press down on the left hand button below the main dials to make it brighter

Could be some of the bulbs have blown.
Easy to replace and readily available for a couple of quid, think theres a tutorial on here to do it.

Theres also the automatic dim function when the lights have been turned on -this could be misbehaving.
The fabled bsi reset might cure it.

Thanks for the replies. I have replace the 3 bulbs and everything worked fine BUT once it has been on for some time (particularly if the sun is on the dash heating it) the lights are failing/dimming so that the display is not readable. This happened yesterday and today when I got in and switched on the display is fine again. I drove for 45 mins approx and it has dimmed/ failed again. Any suggestions please. Graeme

And I wanted to ask something else. Is the display suppose to light up at night? Mine doesn't when the headlights are on. I need to turn the interior light to read it.

Yes it is illuminated at night with the headlights on but it is dimmed a little.
