hi guys can any one tell me if i can use a set off clocks that are the same as the ones in my 6 tubby exutive, thay look the same in every way but have diff part numbers thanks

[steve_earwig]

You could look it up on Service Box

[dantae]

tryed that, i could not work it out

[steve_earwig]

How about if you post both numbers and I'll tell you if they're the same?

[dantae]

ok here are the numbers, first the one in the car, 9628535980L, and the replacement one is 9628536180L. thanks

Should work fine; I put a set from a 2l GLX on my old 1.8 lx.
Do bear in mind that you'll lose the correct mileage for the car though!

ok thanks guys will fitt it as soon as i can, i did all the soldering on the board but it still dont work right, and i cant find a black box behind the glove box that controls the speedo

Don't know if this is true, but I did hear that the mileage total is stored in the clocks & the ecu. (I think the idea is it 'restrore' the original mileage if you put a new set on). It seems this can lead to it adding the two together if you fit a used set
Can't prove this is the case but I'd advise checking unless you don't care what the total is, or you're trying to outdo bangernom1cs

Not on D8's as far as I know (well, through personal experience anyway!)

[Doggy]

You're probably right - relates to a D9 GTX I almost bought.....

It is a D9 thing. The mileage is stored in the display and the BSI

[dantae]

not too worried about the milage, just want to see what speed im doing
