    why are these core made so poor, plastic hose are brittle and just disintegrate, spose they are nearly 10 years old now, does look like a steward of a job.. maybe a angle grinder would be the go

    with the vent controls its just a little globe in behind it, easy as to replace, just pull the cover off around the controls and undo the 4 screws, push in one side of the controls and pull out the other. look on the back on the white rear cover and follow the wire. twist, remove and replace globe. installation is the reverse of removal.

    the vent controls on mine has the clear plastic bit missing which means only the middle dial lights up. This irritates the piss out of me. I've tried to just get that clear plastic piece before but have had no success. I figured it would be just as easy to replace the whole assembly

    My illumination is dodgy too. have to keep whacking it for only 2/3's of it to light up.

    HAHA, sounds like all the illumination is maybe a common problem! a few of mine have only just started to come and go, almost in unison! lol . . .

    I have exactly the same problem! Its only the 3 dials that intermitantly illuminate for me, everything else is fine.

    LOL join the cue.

    My 3 dials some time won't even light up, I give the dials a few taps and then they light up like a lose connection or something not sure.
