Ive got a pic of the block before any wires have moved By the looks of things the SR cluster is quite a bit different to the paseo clocks and the diagram doesnt look like it would work for these clocks. I think its just going to be a case of trial and error getting it working. Had a quick think the red/blue according to the diagram is the rev & oil try this so it lines up to slots 13 if that dont work try 10. Seems that should be the fix? You must have bendy fingers getting the speedo cable out so many times took me ages to get it out and ages to get it back in.

Im beyond confused now. Just put all the wires where they say they should be on the diagram then see if that works. If i remember correctly you should end up with a green wire that plugs into nothing. Try and get some pics or summert tonight might make it all a little easier.

Did you get it sorted yet, the wiring diagram clear things up? Is it the same as putting SR clocks in?

Yeah there is wiring for the tach, there must be because ive put SR clocks in my sportif. Its a case of swaping some wires. PM me your email address and i can send you the wiring diagram, think ive got a few pics at home too which i could send over. Was only a few weeks back i did mine so its still fresh in my head.

Farmer joe has been growing some R8's . I do think they look bit like a copy of the Bugatti Veyron though?

Not sure if it ever been mentioned before, would it not be better to have a General Chat and a seperate Starlet Chat rather than just a general? I just think sometimes it could do with a seperate bit where general starlet questions could go that dont fall into any other category so they dont have to go in with all the other bits and bobs that are posted in the general category. Just a thought David

Just heard on the radio that it has been published in the new Highway code that smoking while driving has been listed as a distraction. This now means that you could be done for smoking while driving which could lead to a £60 fine and could technically lead to a ban. Anyone here do it? I do, although not too often, if im on a staright road or know the area well then i seem to be more prone to doing it. It seems daft to me, how long until we cant alter the cd player while driving? Thought this might be an interesting discussion? (probably not if you dont smoke)

Im sure ive read of people doing it themselves dont really want to have to post it out again as ive only just got it, what are the consequences of just putting it in with 2000 less miles?

Tool? can i not do this myself?

Searched and found nothing, ive got a SR Cluster for my sportif but I need to add 2000 miles on (want to keep it as true as possible), could someone tell me how please? If stuff like this shouldn't be discussed on the site can someone please send me a pm. Thanks David

PSP's really are mint, got sat nav on mine, crazy what can be done with such a small piece of technology.

That is well harsh hope u get it, and them sorted out! I hate having to park my car at the top of my drive for this exact reason.

I have 45 profile tyres, not sure if that makes a difference?

Ok so just been out to check tyre pressure and pretty sure its wrong but not sure if its what causing problems. Both left side tyres are at 26 front right at 27 and rear right 28.5. So could this be causing me problems and am I right in thinking the pressure should be 32 all round?

Thanks for the quick reply, ill get the basics checked soon as. Quick noob question, can someone tell me what tramlining is please?

So I got some Speedline SR alloys a few weeks back finally got them sorted and fitted but now the car feels funny to drive (was on standard steelies before). Let me try and explain, the steering wheels now pulls all over the place with every little bump i think, but generally more to the left than anything else, it is also harder to turn right than left, like the steering wheel is phsically harder to turn (not like this before). Also earlier today was accelerating quite hard and when i lifted the clutch in 3rd it fully pulled the car to the right, pretty much shit me up. My question now, basically is this normal now that i have so much more grip (standard wheels were quite worn) having never really driven any other car i dont know what i should be expecting? Hope that makes sense? Thanks

Click Click Made me laugh a lot, thought someone here might find it amusing.

Ok, so I decided tomorrow would be a good day to colour code my mirrors. Planning on doing it myself. So i thought tonight id see if i could get the mirror apart. I managed to get it looking like this sorry mess. Now what I wanted to know is there any way of getting the part that holds the mirror off the part that bolts to the door? (hope you get what i mean). Because id like to leave the part that bolts to the door black. Or is it going to be a case of masking that part up? Any help would be great. Thanks.

Thanks for all your help people, proper useful is this website, i like it.

Didnt want to make another topic, but not sure if anyone will see it here. So ive bought the speedlines and will be picking them up saturday, will i need to buy some new bolts to put them on or can I just use the ones from the steelies? If i need some new ones, what type? Also where can i dispose of the steelies? Just take them to a dumpit site or is there a special place you have to take them? It may seem like some silly questions but i really am a total car newb. Thanks in advance.

Haha i had these on my watch list, and i actully won them, collecting them saturday. £117.00 seems mint now for a set of 5. Cant wait.

How a quick search about with not much luck, So whats the average price I should expect to pay for a set of 4 Speedlines with tyres in average condition (although not too sure yet going to see them tomorrow). The peorson is wanting £150 + VAT Does this seem about right? I just didnt want to get ripped off. Thanks David Sorry about typo in title, not sure how to change it

Will try and get some pics up later see what you think. Thanks again for all the advice.

Thanks a lot for all your advice, glad to hear its not a lost cause. Im going to borrow one of those orbital buffers off a friend and give that a whirl, see if it helps. If not ill try some of the other things you have suggested. Anyone have any suggestions how to get the black crap off that has built up in small places like under the rear windows and around the wing mirrors, have tried a toothbrush with not much luck, didnt want to try anything harder incase it scratches the paint. Was thinking a jet wash but not sure if its recomended? Sorry about all the questions.
