I need to replace a bulb on my 300tdi discovery 1. It is a tiny bulb fitted
into a green holder and plugged into the rear window wiper switch (to
illuminate the switch).
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Thanks
Davy M.

Just about any decent motor factor will sell them by the bucket load ~
they ain't nothing special :-)

...unless they've got "Landrover" stamped on 'em somewhere, in which case
they're like hens teeth and will cost as much as a failing high street bank.

They're a little bit special, I don't think my motor factor sells grain
of wheat bulbs. And you've got to make sure they're the 6mm long ones,
8mm ones interfere with the switch. Oh and getting the rubber coloured
cover off is often a pig without destroying it, most coloured ones are
8mm. And you've got to do the fiddly wiring bit to replace the bulb in
the green holder.

Or I think Craddocks sell them.

You can buy them at our local parts emporium/chav centre complete with
the holder ... £1.99p for 10 :-)

Never leave home without them ... or fuses, or exterior light bulbs, or
