Thanks mate :y:

hi all , new to the site so bare with lol . ive got everything to go for thisd mod but was woundering does this affect the mot in any way , please advice as im desperate to get going but just wanna be sure thx .

I tried it and fused the board so lost half of the LEDs:(

Hi. Not it will not affect the mot... The only thing that could affect the mot is if doing this made it difficult to read dials or the milage.. But with saxo dials u wont affect either soo ur safe....

thanks again bunty99 :) gonna give it a go now , probs finish tomorrow .

I this yesterday but only got the wiring but finshed as i converted from mk 1 to mk2 today. ANd when i turn my lights on. The millage lights up blue and the blue led for my water temp lights up but none of the others. I have checked they are defo conected.

Does any 1 no if they have to go in a certain direction or anything like this.

Im puzzled...

Finished mine tonight and very happy with the results , defo was worth doing :)

Yes they must be the correct way round. They are diodes.

did this the other day well impressed great guide too

cool thanks.. does any one have picture of there leds either before or after changing with the lights off so i can see which way round they are ment to be.

as i have changed all mine and i dont know which ones are ment to be which way..

i did my dials and the smd has a notch in the corner of it and you match it up with the original led thats how you know which way round it goes

I cant do that i already changed them and got sum bk to front and dont know which ones..

well guessing your only option is to get another set of dials and see unless someone on here is willing to split there dials apart and tell you..

Was hopin sum just had a pic of there dials while they were apart. And i can figure out the rest my self

just looked through my old thread and i didnt take any pics while i did it, i dont own the car anymore either :S

Thanks for looking. Sure some one will have one some were lol saves me a 40 miles round trip and £20 on another set of dials lol

or you can just unsolder yours, and turn them round??

He doesn't know which ones are right way round and which ones aren't so could be there a very long time lol

so power it up on the bench whilst you're working on it? lol - am I missing something?

Ah very true I personally wouldn't know how to do that I took it back to the car every time I tested it

ouch. Yeah that'd suck.

Powering it whilst soldering could damage the board.. Dont want to risk damaging it as milage is very close to orginal so want to use these dials

huh?

Power up, see non-working smled, remove power, desolder, turn round, resolder, power up, test. Move to next smled...

I could do that way but as they run in series of 3 and i dont know which one of the 3 is making them not work and there is 3/4 sets of 3 in series it will leterally take 4-5 hours to try all the combinations :banghead:

Thats y i was hoping sum 1 had a pic just to help me save time

That is true also one of mine had a dodgy connection which turned other leds off

Still, try the three leds each way wouldn't take too long, once one set is working the other sets should be the same or easy to work out

Guna have a stab at it tonight while at work.. But not holding my hopes up...

Just tryied powering the up on table here with a battery and couldnt get the one that works in the car to come on soo guna do it when i can go bk and forward to car lol..

best guide thanks

Is there anyway of accessing the dials without removing the steering wheel? As removing the airbag torx screws was a bitch, got 1 out but rounded 1 off.

Or is this the only way?

Cheers

Can undo the 2 13mm bolts that hold the steering rack in , once this is done steering wheel can be moved down leaving room for you to get to the screws of the clocks ! This is how I did mine without removing the steering wheel :)

I also did the above, loosened the 3 13MM steering column bolts. Was piss easy to get them out. Ive done them all but ive only got a 1/3 of them working.

Any advice?

Youve not solderd one of them correctly i imagine so the circuit isnt complete. Check over all the connections of the broken ones, more than likely the first one that isnt lighting up.

It's the rev counter lights and half the speedo.

I had same problem crouchy just had left hand side lit up :/

i have been struggling with problem for over a week. with 2 sets of dash clocks and i can only get 1/3 working on both... :(

realy struggling cos i cant figire out y they arnt working.. im sure they solderd on right.. and the right way.... soooo i want to cry :banghead:

Ive got the petrol gage and the oil temp working, just not the rev counter, petrol gage and half the speedo. The milage is working.

What works looks sick but its annoying. I wish it all worked.

I just did this.... had a bit of hassle with half the rev counter not working but a multimeter and some trial and error got them all working nicely :) good guide and a simple cool mod to do

You hero! Am doing this :)

I've just done this. Its bolocks.

I've only got half the speedo and half the rev counter working along with the temp gauge and warning lights. The petrol gauge isn't having a bar and the rev counter has stopped working :/.

New clocks :/

Yet loads of people have done it and it works. Not really bollocks is it?
