Arghhh - I'm having trouble with my instruments - oohh err missus. Basically the tacho, the oil pressure gauge and the clock are all very temperamental and I'm tearing my hair out trying to fix them. I know it's the dashboard end of things that's causing the problem but that still doesn't help me. The rev counter is the easiest to fix - a bang on the dashboard cures that, the oil pressure gauge has completely packed up although I've had all other parts of the system checked out so I'm happy I still have oil pressure and the clock ceased to work when I left my lights on and the battery went flat.
Now the clues....
The tacho works fine when the weather's warm.
The clock was working happily for 2 years and I did get it working a few months ago - it just sprang into life when I connected it although it was gaining 20 minutes every hour, so I took it apart again and now it won't work.
The oil pressure gauge was fine until I took the dashboard apart.
I've had a look at the printed circuit board behind the dash and there does seem to be a little bit of one of the silver trails missing and I did see a tiny puff of smoke coming from there a while back.
Any info would be really helpful.
Cheers guys
Steve.
