Idrees Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Mine points about 5mm under the 0mph but is this suppose to be like this? Should it not point at 0mph when parked still?NA by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blue Icarian Wings Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I believe mine points at zero, take off the clear cover and you can push the needle anti-clockwise until it gets to zero where you want it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 mine does the same idrees buddy, im just too lazy to fix it and dont wana risk fookin up yet another cluster. its meant to point at 0mph but if u think about it its really not a bad thing, means if its readin 45mph your actually maybe only doin about 42mph or so, can be the difference between points and no points if your misbehavin!Phil.

RobSR Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 my bros sits on zero.....is yours under it when the ignition is off and on?!?! In other words , does it move up a little when you start it up but are still staionary?!?!Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 indeed it does because its magnetic, when u start it up circuit is complete and it moves to zero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Indeed it does, but I answered about being a tad under zero as assumed Idrees meant when the car is off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'll check that now.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nope mine doesn't move when I turn the ignition on, it stays here until the car gets moving.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 hmmmm, not really sure mate to be honest.....if you are really that bothered (which i would be) pull it off, get a mate to drive along at about 30mph steadily, and then push it back on.....then see if it still does it....by the way, your blue dash conversion looks , did you do it yourself, if so would you mind sharing! CheersRob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hmm I'll try to get to the bottom of it when I open the dials up again because the plastics need spraying properly anywayYup did it myself, only done 2 bulbs yet so I'll update properly when I've done all the dashboard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 nice, I've done mine too!If u want to replace the bubs behind the centre console too its the wee wedge bulbs (type 286) u need. Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stup86 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I tried both and sleeves are definately better. Leds are poo.I got my blue bulb covers for ezled on ebay, delivery took 2 weeks. Get them elsewhere if you can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shelly_star Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 LEDs are more straight facing than like a wide angle thing, so LED won't be good. How hard is it to get behind the dial? never taken mine apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
