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 £30 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
