A scrap yard riddle for you
One morning whilst awandering I,
A 360GLS in blue did spy,
When moved upon, fast,
(No spoiler, Alas!)
A mystery caught in my vision.
can someone tell me what this is?

That looks like a gearstick to me, mate..it might flash when you need to shift? :S
If thats the case then its a pretty poinless addition if you ask me..

That same gauge is also in our GL. Hasn't ever worked though so I believe it is disconnected. Some kind of simple econometer or shift-light.

Well I've got the whole panel that I'm gonna fit (my rev counter doesn't work so I'm replacing that!) if i've not got the sensor on my 'box then I'll put it in a jiffy bag for you hugh!

yeah, it's a problem with the coil being, well, not a coil anymore!it jumps all over the place and seems to think that in 2nd gear at 10 mph, 4000rpm is about right :S
