If it is bulbs make absolutely sure that you replace with the correct wattage bulbs. As with everything else on these wretched vehicles they are slightly different, I needed to change the bulbs on mine and (after finding all the hidden fixings) found I didnt have quite the right ones, they were slightly higher wattage. The dash insert threw a wobbler coming up with all sorts of spurious messages in the panic section of the dash. Glad to get rid of the heap, never will a french car reside on my drive again!
