drivers footwell behind speaker pod,passenger footwell behind speaker pod,take clocks out and there is 1 on a bracket on the bulkhead,they would probably be the best ones to start with if its trouble with instruments,front of chassis leg each side just down from headlights,1 by the wiper motor,1 under the rear seat,1 in the boot by the passenger side rear light
