Hi guys - today my tach dash i found on ebay turned up so i quickly rushed outside between rain showers (not liking winter) removed the old one and fitted new one in - everything works great except the volt meter which was working fine on the old dash.
Its gone dark now so cant get into it to have a good look but i was wondering if any of you have had and fixed this problem before?

Cheers Mark

Check out my gallery photos for the tach swap I did. You may have a bad connection with the nuts that hold the gauges in. I had a similar problem with some of the cluster lights not working, and by unscrewing them and placing back in, it fixed the problem. It's a good idea to wipe down the printed circuit board too.

cheers, Roy
