Hi all.
Today i fitted the DLS dash clocks to the car and guess what, they do not work :( :( :(
They are the same size and fit in ok but the circut thingy at the back of the cluster is different.
Ah well, it was worth a try :( :( :(
Cheers Mark.

Cheers Mark.

Thanks.

You still need to account for the indicator tell-tale light which is on the DLS speedo

Right lads.
The Bannana has got a new toy for Christmas. I got a tip of from a 300 legend in Germany about a rare part that i had been looking for
for years. I only know of two other nutters that have this particuler bit. the tip of came at the begining of December
and i thought it best to get crimbo over first as it was a bit expencive{i was afraid of the good lady hitting me with a frying pan}
I watched it every other day to see if it was still there and come the 29th Dec i could not wait any longer. It arrived this morning.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D .
I will let you know how the fitting goes.
Cheers Mark.

No idea what it is, but from the description, a couple of things leap to mind.

Front spoiler?
79-82 dash rev counter?

I'm up that way today.

Like, very much :-) I need to get around to fitting one of those things to my vario. But I need an original Volvo clock for the extra gauge panel first.

Cheers
