any T5 owners had issues with red needle speedo not illuminated?

[David Eccles]

I posted about my issue in electrical probs section (so that it would not get moved from here) so if anyone has had issues with the red needles no longer being illuminated maybe you can look on there and advise me if it is going to mean a very expensive dash removal by dealer for a minor repair? Had a reply re T6 and wondered if was going to be same for T5.1s...
Thanks

Not sure of your location (not in your profile) but maybe try HazzyDayz as they are super knowledgeable on this sort of thing - I certainly would not be taking it to a main dealer.
