Our S6 (1996) suffers from low brightness on the dashboard lamps, in fact it looks like some lamps may not be going at all.

Has anyone fixed a similar problem, or even some pointers as to how to remove cluster

Most prob need to take facia panel off, hidden screws usualy inside air vents etc.
Cluster normaly held in with 2 screws.

Noel, this isnt for a S6 but an S2/RS2 (same era), it might help, the bulbs seem to fail often in these dashs:

Does the dash dimmer still work in your car?

Yes dimmer still works, but just looks like half lamps are noy going, random shadowing
