Default issues with escort cosworth speedo etc..





Hi, I wondered if anyone could help me, Ive just bought an escort cossie & the dash & banana pod do not light up. I've seen that it could be the invertor which is fair enough as ive seen the threads on what to do. My problem is that as you can see from the photos there is damage to the circuit board thing as well as missing lights? Could anyone give me any pointers as to what bulbs are missing if any & what could be done to repair the circuit board thing. Any help much appreciated, thanks, Paul

Guy fixes them on Escos forum normally inverter accumulator thing. I got one from Rs components although I haven't fitted and have some problem.
Used to flicker and go high and low. Now nothing

The inverter is easy fix, you have to solder a new one in. Thosefrom Rs components, are a bit bigger then oe one, and is thight fit. Think Birba have a smaller one
