kitty_uk Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 Ok it all started when I had to have a new engine (secondhand) due to a Turbo blowing up on me. Since then my instrument cluster doesnt work fully. revs and temp do, speed doesnt and diesel beep when breaking at half empty or less, shows half even if running on empty. so I plan to replace this with a secondhand one easier said then done there few n far between. My question is :::: The numbers on the bk I can get matching but the last letter is always differnt, does it matter? how important is it to match exactly ?????? I need to get this sorted for my mot in jan. Thanks for all ur help Quote
zorgman Posted November 16, 2011 Report Posted November 16, 2011 its your earth connection that goes to the clocks for some reason its on the big round connector just to the rear and left of the battery on the engine. same happened to me when i done a head swap, if you look you can see the come out on the left of plug so check on other side or chop them and remake off to the earth bolt that is there Quote
