    Anyone know what i can do to fix the light on my dash not working? Basically 1/3 of my dash is in darkness. The side were the fuel gauge is and the high numbers of my speedometer. Not a major problem and is it worth getting fixed?

    You're the only person who can answer the last question but with winter coming in and the clocks going back next w/e it probably will become a pain in the arse, especially with half the instruments lit. It's unlikely the dash lights are on two separate fuses so it's probably a bulb, have you looked at the owner's manual to see if it's a user-fixable problem?

    Depends on the model afaik. The mk1 has screw in bulbs and on others they are surface mounted leds, so a trip to ford might be needed.

    DIY job. 3 screws hold in the surround, take them out and pull it out then I think 4 screws holding the instrument cluster in place, take them out and pull it out also.
    The bulbs are held in these white holders, twist them lose with a pliers and replace the bulb. Your better off replacing the 3 bulbs instead of the one.

    Handy job no series DIY skills required.
