Dashboard globes - 2001 Forrester

[Michael]

Had the "Power" globe blow in my automatic Forrester dashboard. Subaru
dealer wants to sell me a full dashboard globe kit to replace one globe!
Anyone had a similar problem?

Michael,

all dashboard globes are covered by the vehicle warranty, as they are
supposed NOT to blow... I had my fog light and cruise control lamps go, and
they were replaced under warranty. When I queried the dealer about why my
number plate lamps weren't in the same category, he told me that all
interior globes, excluding the courtesy and map lights are covered by
warranty.

The dealer who told me this is Subaru Docklands in Melbourne. Which dealer
are you having problems with? Given the bigpond.com address, I'm guessing
in Australia somewhere...

Cheers,

Andrew
