Sparky Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Wont be too bad for a girl with little hands lolYea theres just two screws holding the binacle surround in, remove that then to expose the screws holding the clocks in, think there are 3 and pull the cluster towards you to get down behind it, you will see 3 plugs at the top, just unclip them and then the speedo cable, that can be a pain but im sure you turn it like 90 degrees anticlockwise and then they should come out.

Guest Enzo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 this is actualy a bitch of a job and not that easy if you dont uncscrew the speedo cable from the gearbox, that will give you sufficient length onht cable to pull the cluster out,not doing this could add to loads of time swearing trying to get the other end of the cable off the binacle.
