Checked you havent lost the little doo-hickey on the front left hub cap?

[mat_91]

its all there ive check also as ive took the clocks out and gone for a spin the speedo cable is spinning i think its broke were the speedo cable goes into the clocks as ive had a drill in the back and the miles trip by pretty fast but the speedo doesnt move around as well i just want something to tell me how many miles ive done to work out mpg

As i understand your best off looking for a hen with teeth as you've got more chance Why not just contact the gezzers on ebay, lakes autos etc with 340's in to be broken and order a gauge cluster

[mat_91]

i thought you just meant a aftermarket one not the stupidly rare 300 one haha
and ill just live with it for now as it doesnt hinder the car so i wont fix it haha

[classicswede]

hadnt thought about taking off as its not something i normally do haha

Yano, tearing through the country side, round the corner with the tree's and old cottage on the inside, out into the open, SH*T! Humpback bridge! Cant be good for the suspension

Living in the country side my cars have to be capable of shifting on rough roads. The 340 with 3" lowering springs and the uprated shorter dampers handled jumps very well. There are a few good humps localy where you could get all 4 wheels of teh ground and it would always land very nicely.

Is it Smiths or VDO i shoul have both types

[mat_91]

how do you tell the difference and how much for one with P+P

[Attack2001]

these are the later style VDO gauges, i believe as yours is a mk3 you more than likely have the same style

The easy way of testing is if your petrol light is round/square and what the rev counter goes up to
