   First, talk properly, most of that was fine apart from the little bits of text talk.
   
   Second, did you put the little tit things back in that stop the needles completly dropping off the end of the dials?

   You need to make sure you put the needle's back on in the correct place.

   I think there is a little locator bit where the needle pushes on.
   
   If no-one else answer you, just give Steve a PM with a link to this thread

   sounds like they're on loose , are they dropping without the revs droping?

   when i changed over my dials, my speedo stopped working, i was like hmmm fuck! so i did the annoying thing of completely removing everything again , taking the dials apart again, removing the needles and refitting them again, was fine until they started to stick so i did it again , now its fine
