No.

Unless your arms are boneless and are made of Indiarubber.

Give it a whack - you'd be surprised how effective percussive maintenance is with the electrics on the S2. I had a similar issue last winter - thought that two of the bulbs behind the speedo and rev counter had gone. Gave the dash a tap, and, a miracle, they started working again. Been fine ever since.

if that doesn't work try a sledge hammer

what happened to the "good old" days of popping your speedo out and swapping the bulbs!!!....these new fangled gizmo's!!!.....sorry this old timer does tend to ramble a bit

[QUOTE=dan_b]Give it a whack

I like this advice. Works for so many things. If in doubt give it a whack.

When I used to work in IT, I had this flow-chart for fixing:

1. Re-boot
2. Whack
3. Re-install software
4. Re-install hardware
5. Pour tea down it to force replacement

Dash light bulbs are a piece of ****! Two screws on the steering column cover. Two screws in the front of the dash surround. Undo clips behind dash (okay, slightly tricky ) carefully withdraw dash from behind steering wheel. Change offending bulbs...

Refittment is reversal of removal
