my rev counter is working but it reads a lot less than it should do. It was working fine yesterday but turned it on this morning and it now has the problem. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

 

mine does the same on a 3 dr too. Was speaking to someone about it and they reckoned it might be the connection to the coil.

Would be intrested in some answers to this one as well

 

do you mean the coil on the back of the rev counter itself?

 

right on the 3 door clocks i found loads of dry joints so take the clocks out all aprt get some braid the bit that sokes the solder up and resolder should be better or perfect worked for me

 

Anyone else had this problem?

 

My brothers rev counter was completly dead, we took the blackbox off by the coil and the rev. counter came alive.

Maye this blackbox is also the problem by your car.

Cheers Ruud

 

i have replaced the coil and checked the wire from it to the clocks, all ok. Is there anything else to check before i take the rev counter apart as i dont really want to do that unless i have to?

 

up one last time

 

Do you need your book back B11gns?

And no im not going to let Emma drive the car in to work, we have to meet up!

No not yet , it sounds like you need it more then me at the mo
BTW the car looks good but i thought she said it was a black one It must have been me not listening properly

 

To much for me to handle, i'll book it into the specialist.

Dont worry I never listen to her either

 

it only took me about 2 hours and i hadn't done it before.

 

Is that an offer to help?

I'll bring the car to you?

Will do. btw do you have the following parts, a new cam cover gasket, 2 new 1/2 moon seals, a new cam seal (not essential but would be an idea as doing the bearing and obviously i presume you have the bearing itself?

 

O YES!

but not the cam seal?

 

O YES!

but not the cam seal?

 

i'd personally change it but you can use the old one as long as its ok, also it would have to be saturday as sunday i'm out all day, also dont forget the manual as it has the torque settings
