Last week the bulb for my dipped beam blew and before I take out the dashboard cluster to replace it, does anyone know the type of bulb I need to buy to replace it?

Also, I'm going to do an oil change on the car soonish and will need a sump plug washer. I can obviously order one online but I'd prefer to just get one from the local motor factors. Does anyone know the size of it... the car is a 1.3 mpi.

Thanks!

Your probably just as well getting a washer from a skoda garage as things like that usually cost pence from them!

As for the dashboard bulbs.... not sure of the name/type but they should look like this:

Steven, i've got a box of these lightbulb/holders in the garage

Just in case anyone has to change a dashboard bulb, the Haynes manual states you have to remove the steering wheel and steering column shroud.

Erm, no, Mr Haynes, you can do it without all that extra work.
