I wouldn't have thought this kind of post would endear yourself towards anyone.

Maybe people didn't see your post. I know I didn't.

Maybe the majority don't know an answer? Of those that may possibly know, perhaps they haven't been on the boards for a while. Perhaps people are busy.

In answer to your question, which I have now seen - I do not know, sorry. Maybe someone will come along who does - but then maybe they might miss it - it happens. Nobody always gets or is absolutely entitled to an answer on here mate.

i looked at the topic but havnt got an idea whats up so no point in posting up that i havn't got a clue

Edit : Have you checked the connectors on the back of your clocks to make sure there pushed in properly?? maybe clean the cotacts on the clocks where they plug in as might not be making a good connection?

Think he means the speedo cluster it's self

think theres 3 screws in the speedo suround you will need to remove and another 3 holding the cluster in place, once these are removed you will be able to lift the speedo out to check the wiring loom and plugs

where you have the speedo surround ( the funny goldie bit) there's 2 screw in the top of it I think, and 1 down below where the ignition key fits in around where your knee would be

once you've taken them out you should be able give it a bit of a pull and it'll come off

then there another 3 holding the cluster in you should be able to see all of these
