Leading on from the above post, I just removed my instrument panal & now no CEL!
It's very easy if anyone else wants to have a go.
Firstly drop your steering wheel down as far as it goes to give yourself some room, undo the two phillips head screws in the top part of the instrument panel. Grab the black plastic surround & gently pull until it unclips. I then grabbed the cluster from each side (bit fidley if you have big fingers) pull & wiggle until it all lets go. My perspex fascia popped out before I got the rest out. There is one big multi connector behind the cluster holding it in.
Remove perspax facia if it hasn't already come off like mine did, then unclip the front black plastic surround. At this point you can peel back the black overlay which will expose the idiot lights on the rear circuit board. They are LEDS so can't be removed. I got some high density foam & pushed down the CEL hole to block the LED.
Reassambled & hey presto can't see that stupid little CEL anymore
This whole exercise took me between 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
