Digital clock

[dgt]

Excuse the slight hijack, but does your D8 have a huge analog clock where the rev counter should be instead of a digital one? I only ask as mine does and I was considering adding in the digital and swapping the clocks for one with a rev counter. I haven't read up fully but I gather it's a pita. Is this the case with yours?

No worries!

It sure did, big analogue clock with no rev counter. Just fuel indicator, temp, speed and that clock. Most of which didn't work right...

I changed it for a set of clocks with a rev counter and an oil level indicator




I have another thread on a spot of bother I had with those clocks reading slow, I got it sorted though

Finally mystery solved

The plug was tied to the ignition wires

But I now have a working clock. Plug and play! Getting the plug up there was tricky but had it done in a few minutes





Thanks to everyone for the input

Glad to hear you sorted it mate, can you tell me if the oil level indicator and rev counter worked straight off or did you need to modify anything?

I was considering fitting some clocks with an oil level indicator if I spot some nice ones.

Howdy! Apologies for the late reply

I put it straight in, plug and play

There was a small issue of a burned track but I got that sorted

Only issue i had was the clock bulb holder for said bulb was brittle and broke , pain in the ass , but having got rid of the car , its not a problem for me now as my 2.1 is ok on that score and led much better for illumination

Does it not have a clock there at the moment?

No it has a blank cover where the clock should be

be aware the bulb holder is probaly brittle as hell
