filtee 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Probably a job youve not got round to doing yet but dont forget the clocks. Noticed in the pic youve still got the 140 ones in. Link to post Share on other sites
lumoxs 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 yea not changed them yet..... didnt realise i actually had too.... Link to post Share on other sites
filtee 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah the speed and rev counter read slightly out with the 140 ones in. Dead easy to change. 5 min job. Pop the vents out on either side and youll see the screws holding the clock surround/facia in. Take that out and the clocks tilt forward and pull out. Youll see what i mean when you look at it. Just 1 plug on the back. Link to post Share on other sites
