Nope.

You do not have to take the cluster appart.
White bulb holders on the rear just undo (bayonet style).
Replace all bulbs with new ones (around 10 if I mind) because whenever you knock the unit taking it out, other bulbs will blow due to filaments being frail. The milage bulb always blows first because it's on all the time even with lights off.

I had the same issue the other day, I found that the bulb hadn't gone it was a loose connection and giving the dash a good hit worked. Very Happy Not very technical but saved a lot of palava lol

Filament of the bulb is interminant as it's quite frail by now.
Get ready to replace.
