Escos dials getting "scummy"
Hi guys and gals
I'm sure this is a common problem, the dials on my escort are getting dirty/dark patches appearing randomly on the speedo clocks and the boost pod dials are really bad. My question is can they replaced or cleaned or repaired or is there an after market kit that is acceptable to use.
Thanks
Mat.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Just a thought? BIRBA If you change only the face,s on the speedo and turbo boost gauge,s and put on the 280kph speedo and the 2 bar turbo boost gauge does that mean that you are actually doing that speed and are you on that boost, or is it all for show, the way i see it is the calibration of the speedo and the boost gauge have not changed at all. OR AM I MISSING SOMTHING. I have a standard set on my escos at the moment (MPH + KPH) and they are begining to look crap (but only in the night) i also may have to change it to KPH only.
with all the speed cameras we have now i dont want to be either driving slower than i need or heaven forbid faster. plus the odometer will still be in miles, all a bit confusing.

if you look at the boost gauge the 2 bar point is alot further round than were the 1.3 bar indication is, same as the rev counter is greater.
ive been told in the past that they are all calibrated so they are correct, or as accurate as any other clocks on a car
