Default What solutions to ill. probs?

Hi.

Only half my speedo lights up. Nothing on the tacho or the boost/oil/battery gauges.

I have read a fair bit about it on here, but I wonder what's the best solution. Do I have to buy Birbas or is it a better solution. New inverter maybe? From where?

Thanks for any replies.

Tore

I Had similar problems to you.

I decided to go down the new inverter route, bit of an arse to fit as you have to strip your clocks completly, but worth it.

For Ł30 quid form RS Components, you have to search for:-

Electro Luminesent Sheet inverter, 12V 120mA rms 400Hz (Stock Number 2678863)

I just gave them some accurate "details" to set an account up.

When I ordered the woman on the phone said its stupid to just have accounts if you are just wanting to buy 1 or 2 items
