Recieved a present from Europe today, a new (used) intrument cluster

Was pretty much plug and play, I now have a working MFA AND all the idiot lights work too!!! (even the oil warning buzzer)

Also ran some relays on the inner high beam lights too.....BIG differance at night.
Im happy

So the mph/mpg doesn't bother you ? Looks like it's in great condition

Nope, infact I think a MPH speedo suits the car.
I'm not sure if the MPG figure is right either, but I'm just happy it works

Got some goodies today

[ryana89]

Did a few small things to the MK2 today, which should have been done loooong ago.


1.Replaced the oil temp sender, mucked around with the wiring and now I can watch the temp on the MFA all day long
Likes to hang around 100C around town.
Also thanks go to SortofbigBJ for getting me the sender (if he ever reads the thread )

2. Fixed an abnoxious/painful dash squeak by simply tightening a nut in the scuttle tray.

3.Also ordered some Boston 3.5 inch speakers to go in the dash (get rid of the nasty 5inches in my door pods).

Not very interesting so here's a piccy of my recent polishing work to the roof/bonnet.

Shiney!!

Also where was the screw in the scuttle, currently trying to find the source of a squeak in mine.

10mm deep socket under the rain tray.

Oz is on the money.

You'll need the 10mm Deep drive, with an extension (this is a 1/4 inch socket set job).
Location.....well it took me about 10 minutes to find it, but just go by this diagram.
