Thanks to those how helped get my car back on the road the clutch problem is now sorted and the door handle is now done I have spoken to dreadnought garage about the thermostat and had a good price quoted so car will be going to them soon that just leaves the bulb on fuel gauge side of dash needing replaced and the srs cable under the seat need repaired to I was considering changing bulbs for blue on dash but unsure if its that easy

Changing the dash colours is a bit of a faff so wouldn't bother although I vaguely remember a kit on eBay that changed the dials and stuff.

Changing the bulbs in the dash is a faff as Grimmy says, the LED kits that you get from eBay etc arent very good, Smokey(Blair) done an LED conversion to his but he had to sand off the colour segments in the actual dial masks to get the perfect light output, as they are different colours for areas in the mask, so just swapping out the bulbs will give you a chavved up look with light hot spots in the cluster, and to be completely honest look utter S4it.

Fix the bulbs, but then if you want to change it a bit, go for the chrome dial surrounds.

And some chrome vents -

Good to hear you have some progress Garry, as said can be a pita changing dial colours. Dan he does have chrome dial rings already, although the surround is unpainted because I kept the painted one for kevs car when I bought it.


Have you managed to get any pics of the wiring under the seats yet?
