Land Rover Repair: Thermometer Replace, fog lamps, chassis frame


Question
I am having an issue with my thermometer on my 2000 Range Rover. I am looking on instructions how to replace it with one I purchased. Can you provide any insight?  I'm looking to save a much money as possible since I am in between jobs at the moment.
