Two hours fifteen minutes,one torx screw dropped behind heater controls but not crucial. Garage supplied a clear glass bulb, not the pearl glass that diffuses the light more evenly, but I am well pleased with myself. Make sure you know the radio keycode before you start taking it out!

PS I shone a torch on the display and could still faintly see mileage, so I knew the unit was still working. Thanks again for advice.

I was surprised to have a LCD display lit by an old-fashioned incandescent lamp in my car. I am pretty sure the odometer is designed these days to be quite tamperproof, so I think you are unlikely to affect the mileage. (Make sure you take the battery out of the car before you do any changes will almost ensure this) Not sure if they have changed the backlight.
