I've done it now

After some gentle but firm tugging I disconnected the speedo and got at the bulbs.

Easy peasy

Did you swear at it as well? I find that always helps

Another piece of sagely wisdom that the Haynes manual omits. I performed this useful step several times, the other day. Definitely of great value....

Well done Didge that's one job you'll know how to do next time.

Now, about getting the speedo cable back in!

Only when I head butted the rear view mirror with some force.

I now have a lit up speedo, half the temp gauge and half the fuel, but thats ok the petrol tank is never more than half full and the temp gauge never goes beyond 95, if it does then, I won't be able to see it at night so it not my problem

I went to fit my new HU this afternoon, connected up the ground and switched live but got nothing, I'm giving my friend who works for Halfords a tenner to do it tomorrow
Have i mentioned yet how much I HATE wiring?

For now I've fixed the current rubbish HU, I happened to find the correct fuse at the back of a kitchen draw

Back to listening to my tapes then, including but not limited to The Greatest Dance Album Ever 1997 and Ibiza Club Mix 2000. :slayer:

Speedo cable slipped in with ease actually, haven't tested it yet though....
