Are your dials blotchy??????????
Just curious really as to how many of us have blotchy dials or have done in the past and replaced them.
Mines recently started to go around the speedo a bit.
Would be interesting to see how much of a common fault it actually is.

Nick, do the birba dials replace the originals or just fit over the top of them?
I think ill get some of these as i dont want to be buying some second hand ones only to find there the same or even worse.

Yep, mine are totally blotch free.
You did worry me though, so I went into the garage, got under the cover - in the car and checked

mine are blotch free, but occasionally they don't like to illuminate until I play with the dimmer switch, hopefully just a dodgy connection otherwise its time to take the dash out and get a new inverter

On this topic - my dash lights keep going out, not all of them, just the odd ones and its a pain in th ass to keep taking the dash apart to fiddle with them.
The bulbs haven't blown either, they just loose there connection on the copper strips
Anybody had a similar problem????
Anyway, when they are all working, mine are perfect and original for 70k milage 92 K plate car

I may have worded the title a bit wrong, mine are not actually blotchy like the ones above. Mine seems to have started to fade around the outer edge of the speedo, it just looks dimmer than the rest. 
Anyway it seems the majority have the problem anyway which makes me feel a bit better.
