Any1 know how to remove em?

Bloody annoying

want to fit VTS ones, but cant get 1.1 out.

Any ideas? Does the steering wheel need to come off?

cheers

no it can be done with the wheel on its just a bit tight lol

First take off the steering column shroud then its two torx screws at the top of the dial cover plactic thing and two underneath, the two underneath are a ball ache to get to you may need to cut a bit of the plastic lip off that obscures them, no problem though as the shroud covers this. With draw the dial cover thingy.
From memory its another two torx screws at the top then fold the dials forward unplug the plugs and mutate the fuckers out.

ok, right managed to swap the clocks over...yeah

but now, as you know the VTS clocks have a oil temp thing on the left and another needle thing on the (dont know what it is) and these arent working

Any1 know why. Are all the dashboard connection things not just the same. There were 2 clips to go in back on clocks and that was it?

Please any got any ideas??

thanks

Right, rechecked everything and by the looks of it im some wires short behind the clocks

When i bought them they still had the VTS connectors on the back so have counted all the wires and im about 4 short (i think) on my loom

So i now hav VTS clocks but no oil and coolant temp. I found out what the other needle was

Any ideas on how much auto electrician charge to have these wired up @ all

cheers

surely your other dials had a coolant temp? find those wires and reroute them

we the other dials had lights for both what is now the 2 needles, coolant and oil temp.

I pressume if it ever gets too hot then they may still light up but not 100% sure

They just aint moving up to show what is what
