More than likely dash illumination bulb blown or failing that a loose connection. Is it only in one area specifically?

2008 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

probably a loose wire because the puma dashboards are all lit with LEDs

All of them? I thought it was just the 2.2's that had LED?

mine's a 2010 2.4 I replaced the dashboard when I imported it, when replacing the KPH to MPH decal, all LEDs were visible on the circuit board.

Not sure about the central switch console - filaments or LEDs. It's the same unit on FL2 also, so it's probably been around since FL2

Just checked, it's the three round displays and the headlight and side light warning lamp.

Fixed, my son spotted a side light out, same at back, turned out it was a fuse and it's some how linked to the instrument back lighting! Smart move Land Rover!

I Have found that the wire is very thin and have had a few in with internal brakes in the wire , so when you move the wire the lights come on a pain to find , untill i have a few in , also on the Puma heater control,s had the same problems ,
