Speedo

[-ian86-]

I have come to the conclusion that I need a new set of clocks in the car. Do I need to get 1's with the same part number or does it not matter about the part number?

[IHgs300]

Yes the clocks have to be the same, Easiest way to tell is the number on bottom of central dial...XE-01 ect. Which yours should be if i'm not mistaken.

Don't be tempted by these type as they do not work in is200 properly without a lot of re-wiring

By the way if you buy new clocks and the old ones are faulty. I would buy the faulty ones from you. I turn them into these

So far done altezza one for shed, next lexus one for sons bedroom.

It just they don't light up at all when lights are on everything else works and I have ruled out everything for them not lighting up I think and Nar mine are xe 03 bud I have already found some with the same part number I just wanted to make sure before I just bought any.

Also would the mileage change if I change the clocks or would it display my mileage?

And you more than welcome to buy them bud when I get the replacements

[IHgs300]

The mileage is stored in the clocks so would change im afraid.

Ian.

Could you put a pic up of your existing clocks Ian.

Is the little mpg guage at the top or bottom??

[IHgs300]

Looking at this thread and from personal experience a 99 model should have xe-01 speedo. That will explain why lights wont come on.

See this thread Ian.

Definitely the wrong clocks for a 99 model then Ian.

[-ian86-]

Ok that mite explain it what I could really do with is some to try so I can defo make sure before I buy some

Also could that explain why my abs and handbrake light stay on?

You have just put the final puzzle piece in place, definitely the wrong clocks, as that's the exact fault i had swapping clocks over for later ones.

Buy the xe-01 and you will be sorted.

The downside to the car having the wrong clocks is you now don't know the true mileage of the car...Unless there's paperwork

documenting the swap......You might be as well checking MOT history on the government website.

Well these clock have been in a while coz I got the mileage for the last 5 mot's unless when changed they got the mileage done to match coz I know it can be done for a price and I think I have some local who can do it for me when I buy new clocks

[-ian86-]

You have been a great help with all this bud and I really am grateful for it cheers

I can't wait to get the car rite and really enjoy it for what it is

[IHgs300]

You are more than welcome Ian. Anything you need there's always someone on here who can help.

[-ian86-]

Well gonna sort the clocks out next Friday so will let ya know if it sorts the problem and if ya still want the clocks a take out

[IHgs300]

Definitely interested in your old ones Ian, Thankyou.

[-ian86-]

What sort of price should I be paying for some clocks?

[IHgs300]

£15-20 is about right.

[-ian86-]

Ok bud cheers and thanks again for all your help I really am greatful

[-ian86-]

Just wanna say thanks for the advice to ianS200 have bought some new clocks and fitted them now everything all working so I'm happy now.

[IHgs300]

Excellent news. Still interested in your old ones Ian. Have you a price in mind?

[-ian86-]

We'll they all packed up in a box ready for yo just nit sure on how much or how much postage will be. I paid 30 quid for the 1's I just bought but postage was free. If you wanna make me an offer on them and I will find out about postage 2Mora afternoon and if ya can cover that too they are yours

[IHgs300]

Thanks Ian, but i can get a working set to butcher for £15 and keep rest for spares. Really only looking to cover postage cost. Sorry.

[-ian86-]

But these are fully working as you said just the wrong model for the car and the reason the lights weren't work is coz they are wired up differently

[IHgs300]

Of course sorry, You will be better off selling them on e-bay tbh.
