My speedo needle is a bit jumpy so ive been looking into getting a new set of clocks. Ive got an E plate RWD sapphire and the clocks have a boost gauge in the top left corner. Ive just been looking around to find a direct replacement and came accross this thread:

It seems that the sapphires never came with a boost gauge? ive looked through all my cars history and receipts and theres none in there for a change of clocks.

Is it possible that really early saphs had the 3door clocks and wiring?

 

Maybe but unlikely, the car is 25 years old so someone could've changed them over during that time. Never seen or heard of that being available from the factory. how long have you owned it?

 

since november. Its got receipts right back to original bill of sale. it could well have been changed along the line just wondered if there were any other early saffs with the boost gauge.

I may change them back to original then as thats the route im going down with the whole car.

 

The speedo jumping will be the cable either loose In The back of the clocks or not sitting right in the gear box.

 

thanks, ill pop the clocks out and have a look . . .

 

They are 3DR clocks, as you say the Saph didn't have a boost gauge, the reason being is it would not fit in with the cars executive image.

You can easily distinguish MK1 clocks from MK2's, the latter look completely different, also the battery warning light in a different place.
