I've finally got my car back, after being deprived of the flying banana for 6 months! :dance:

 

I'm not sure who is more pleased, me or Ryan.

 

All seems to be sweet now, but I think I've got a bad earth problem. The boost gauge works fine sometimes, then occasionally it'll be hard over to the right - until I put the lights on and bingo - it reads normally. The fuel gauge never seems to move, but on a long run it slowly crept up to quarter full (there was over half a tank full in so it's still not good).

 

So the question is - how do I go about finding this? Is it just a case of making sure all the earthed lines are making a good connection?

 

Or do I just put up with it and smile that I'm back in the zed? :p

theres a chace the cluster itself is up the creek

 

oil pressure gauge wont work as the lead from the sender has been chopped off :smash:

 

put a request in wanted section for a set of new clocks UK spec if poss,as i think you cluster is more likely to be at fault,at least check the plugs to the back of the clocks theres 4 in total so might be worth checking them :cool:

Aha, thanks for that.

 

So that'll be the oil pressure reading zero then. Maybe time for an aftermarket jobby.

 

I've just been out to give it a once over and there's a very dodgy looking earth strap to the rear bulkhead. I might try the old jump-lead-earth-test to see if that cures it.

 

After that, it's open the dashboard time.

 

Now where did I leave my tools?......
