Trip computer display

[arranstone]

All done. Had a problem undoing the wiring behind the speedo cluster, theres 5 sets of wiring in behind.

So good to see how bad the mpg is again, its been years since that display went.

Fiddly job but been niggling me for ages.

As usual the help from members of the forum has proved invaluable. Thanks

Nice work mate, well done, looks really good.

Maybe you’re missing a bulb on your speedo though, the 20-30 mph are looks dark?

I’ve had these clusters out so many times over the years I’ve developed a method.
With the cluster tipped towards the steering wheel, I use a long thin screwdriver to reach in from the left and lever up the coloured clips on the multipin connectors, once these clips are released the plugs come out easily, working along one by one and leaving the small black one that you need to squeeze till last.

Hi all just doing my research before diving to to swap my LCD out. Can someone point me to a how to thread on how to get to the unit in the cluster I have found a video (in German) that shows how to swap it but the cluster is already stripped? Thanks in advance guys.

Isnt there a partworks tutorial?

Not that I can find on the wed Dave. they give you instructions on how to swap out the old for the new but take for granted you already have the cluster stripped down I guess.

From memory you remove the computer board from the underside. Its held in with about 6 tiny screws. Im sure i did a thread about it a couple of years ago.

I think Michael s2 did one as well Dave but for the life of me I can't find anything! Do I need to pull the needles off the tacho & speedo??

My problem or rather question is how to get it stripped to the point in your picture? Am I over thinking this is it just a matter of unscrewing the back of the cluster and lifting the pcb's off and away from the back so that I don't need to muck about with the clocks etc?

[Tractor Dave]

Its quite easy. You don't touch the clocks.

Cool David thank you. I'll dive in tomorrow and also check the earth tab on the clockspring as I still have the airbag light on! Oh the joys.... LOL
