Hi everyone I just started my programme of mods to MLC by buying a new set of white dials form Lockwood - they look really cool! Thought the "comprehensive" instructions would tell me how to fit them....so, the first step, according to the instructions is "remove instrument cluster" That is the bit I needed to know!!! I have absolutely no idea how to remove it. There don't seem to be any screws or clips. Can anyone help? I really want to do it myself but feeling a bit of an idiot at present! Any tips gratefully received Old Badger (feeling like Old Bodger....)
The smooth piece of trim is just clipped into place. Just get your fingers behind & pull towards you. Just go easy with it. When i did it i got my fingers between the clear instrument window & the pointy peaks of the round style shapes. That will expose the instrument cluster which is retained by a few screws I believe.
just pull it. I'll be interested in knowing if the dial are an easy swap. I think they are. I was thinking of changing my dials.
It comes off very easy. You just need so wiggle it around a bit to get it passed the steering wheel. Looking at them I realised they won't go on my car as the tach is set for the turbo engine
managed to get it out thanks to your great advice! Replaced all the dials and they look great BUT now got to recalibrate the needles
Swap was easy-ish (if you ignore a frantic search of kitchen floor by the old Badgers to try to find the tiny needle which sprang off the speedo dial! Found it hiding in a pot plant on the windowsill. Phew!!
And I've just become a Copenworld Member!! No more newbie for me! Feels like my biggest achievement in years!!
WHITE DIALS LOOK AMAZING!!! Managed to recalibrate speedo by putting arm through steering wheel at 30 mph and comparing with satnav speed while pushing needle on to spindle. Tricky! Done it though. Strongly recommended
