Right then. I got an instrument cluster with a rev counter in for cheap of ebay, I thought it would just be a straight swap for my standard one.
When I recieved it yesterday I went straight ahead and fitted it. during the process I noticed a few of the bulbs on the back were in different places and the card is a slightly different layout, no AIRBAG light for example. Then I noticed that the speedo unit must be from an AUTO as there is a NCVT light! (this wasn't mentioned in the ad).
Any way I thought I would give it a go, so pluged it all in and most of the lights come on and go out as they should! I didn't get a chance to see if the speedo works as the car was blocked in the garage by 4 others and I could be arsed to move them around!
The only thing that didn't work was the rev counter
(the only reason I wanted it in the first place). Is this because of a different signal used from an auto to a manual car? Is there a way in which it can be fixed/made to work?
if not ill put the original back in and stick this one on ebay!!
Cheers for your help
