got a box of will see if i can find themthem somewhere, off when i did the knocklink project, these were them
Mark those are different to the ones that are inside the fan switch, The one that i removed looked like it was from a Scalextric it was a little tiny bulb with a plastic bottom that locks into position

Davew557 yes they look more like them. I have managed to source a bulb set for a £10 apparently they are brighter than the original bulbs too . The bulb set consists of all dail bulbs and also direct replacement ones for the heater switches so i dont have to mess about, Finn cheers m8 but i have already paid for the bulbs prior to reading your post and cheers for the help once again Mark
