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!

Very nice!
It's such a good feeling when you plug it all in and it actually works
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 haha

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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...
