I have a set of D9 clocks in front of me - from a car that has an MOT tomorrow
The problem with them is the speaker on the back has a dodgy solder joint on one leg - and silent indicators are an MOT failure. I've got the casing open, and can see the speaker legs, but I can't get the soldering iron to them because the white plastic front is in the way.
Now - typically - this is a different design to the other dismantled clusters that have had pics posted here. Any suggestions for getting the dials off? They don't appear to want to come off!!

I didn't know that one. Has that always been the case or is it one of the new 2012 regs?

You either have to have a light or sound.
Aslong as you have one or the other you will be fine.

You're right... ish... "presence and operation" is a bit ambiguous and could (e.g. if a tester's having a bad day) mean "if it's there, it must work" and cause a failure based on the tester knowing 406s should click
In other news it (the hdi90 estate) passed. First time I've had a 406 pass its MOT without a failure! Why can't my bloody coupé do that?!?!?!
Advisories on the nsr seatbelt (got a child seat there), slightly blowing eggsauce, and worn rear discs (aye... was hoping they'd not fail it on that).

I always thought the speaker for the indicators for a D9 was part of the com2000 unit.

D8s have the indicator relay located near the rhs air vent. Don't know where the 'lights on' beep comes from
Early D9s (pre-com2000) use a large speaker in the back of the instrument cluster
COM2000 D9s use the COM2000
