My plasma dials were starting to piss me off somewhat, so i decided to give the Mk2 dial conversion another bash.

This time i did it a bit slower and took notice of which way those fecking LED's came out. At this point i was a bit skeptical that i could actually do it...





But i did it all and got them back together



But then it all started to look a bit hard again at this point



got it all back in...



and moment of truth..



WIN!

all i need to do is get my Mk2 fuel pump fitted so that the dials dont over read (hopefully!)

Also, anyone who has seen comedian Rhod Gilbert will appreciate this find of my brothers few days back...



They actually Exist!

i wanna change my leds to blue, can u write a little guide how to do it please? they look mint. nice car =]

gsavill90 25th January 2010 16:19

Very nice!
It's such a good feeling when you plug it all in and it actually works :P
I noticed that the dot on the LED's was different on the new ones i put in.. like citroens LEDs have the dot on positive but the ones i bought had it on negative. I dunno...

Looks really good though!

Its honestly not too bad mate, you just need a steady hand. I wouldnt recommend doing it on a second set of dials only because then your mileages dont match. i managed to get a set that was udner 200miles out from what my actually mileage was.

i can do it for you, but its a fiddly job!

well the ones i bought had a little bit missing from the corner like the ones on the dials already. so i just went by that and it worked. problem is i didnt change the high beam LED and its duller than the low beam light now :P haha

thanks mate. the morettes was pretty much the reason i bought the car :P

the wiring the itself was piece of piss. just put spade connectors on the end of the wires from the MK2 dials and "plugged" them into the appropriate places on the Mk1 plugs.

As for mileage. i might see if i can get i changed, but as the dials i got were only about 170 miles out from the actual mileage, i might just leave it.

TraV 25th January 2010 18:54

mate if u wud do them tht wud be brilliant, as i dont have solder nor a steady hand, so if u come down here soon give me a shout =] ill pay ofc

taking my time, it took me like an hour to do all the LED's i think.
but we can sort something out.

i would consider doing it yourself though. my handisnt taht steady but as long as your careful. my soldering iron came frmo tool station! like £7 or something. long as it has a point would be fine!

Lippy 25th January 2010 19:32

Looks much better bud, I can say it now but I really didnt like the plasma dials, they looked different but these are much cleaner imo

landerboi13 25th January 2010 19:39

yeah, i sensed the bad vibe from you when you saw them. they were different, but they buzzed (which might have been my wiring as they didnt the first time i wired them in)

That and they were a different shade of blue from the other LED's

tried phoning you today! needed a hand changing my fuel pump!
out of all the peoples numbers i have from saxp, only one replied!

FAIL!

you still got your VTR? its not too late!

Sneakydevil89 25th January 2010 22:22

actually, im suprised no one pointed this out

look at the revs and the speed....





yup, im doing -5mph at 500rpm

DOH!!

knew i hadnt put them back properly and all. so out of the 4 guages, only 1 of them is actually accurate!

im going to try and fit my Mk2 fuel pump tomorrow before work, and if theres time ill whip em out again and fix it.

only just got my steering wheel back on straight!

bugger it!

Ben 25th January 2010 22:33

Looks awesome mate, shame about the cock up :P

Sneakydevil89 26th January 2010 11:25

speedo and rev fixed, but coudlnt get the cocking fuel pump out so coudlnt get that bit fixed.

my local garages wont do it either as the new pump is second hand. grrrr

anyone in south west wanna come do it for me?

StephanieLouise 26th January 2010 16:41

Looking good my lovely :) glad you have sorted the rev and speedo out :)

no she went a few months back now.. at times i wish i did :(. i miss the fun factor.

Lippy 26th January 2010 20:42

i had the problems you have with the speedo and the revs, ive put very small red dots on my gauges before I removed the needles though so was pretty easy to set again, my speedo jumps a little just havent been bothered to fix it yet... :)

oh what a day iv had! my bloody fuel pump started pissing out fuel everywhere. wasnt great!
so finally managed to get the Mk2 pump in, but i put £20 of fuel in yesteday and a tenner in today and its only showing its just over a 1/3 full!

that surely cant be right!

i read somewhere, that unless you fill the tank to the brim before you unplug the fuel pump and swap it, it always mis reads. im not really sure though!

whatver though my car stinks of petrol!

more problems :(

putting me off the car again...
