I'm not 100% sure but I may have put 70000 miles on her

Got a heafty ban 10 years ago, young and daft, only ever had 3 points on my licence. And that was before the ban,
Speeding was basically it,
from what I have,No. think that’s a disco/sport thing.
Edit, think 405 on has them.

He's taken it back for a bit. I revved it to the limiter and a load of broken up cat flew out the back and it started to run right! Compression is consistent but still lower than ideal on all cylinders so he's considering rebuilding it while he has a second car. The rear oil seal has been leaking forever so it seems like a good time to have the engine out.

I am guessing you were over 100mph then.

The only option I see for fixing these instrument cluster lights is either a new indicator stalk or a new BECM. Because I have tested everything and everything reads back as being fine. All I can think is I have until Feb 2022 to sort this before the MOT is due. Talk about being fed up.

The backlighting so the speedo etc. can be seen. Right now all we can see is the below:
(not my pic)
Ignore the arrows and the instrument ring things. This was the only pic I could find quickly. All of the warning lights etc in the bottom still work as does the LCD screen. It's the rest we can't see and I have done pretty much everything to get it to light up but it won't.

Yes and as I say I have tested everything, so really there is no reason why it shouldn't be working.

Is it possible to put sperate feed and switch in to make them light up. Just a thought

I wouldn't even know how to do that even if it was possible. Talk about frustrating. Yesterday we pulled everything off the dash through to the centre armrest and sprayed every connection with contact cleaner and gave it a couple of hours to dry. Made no difference at all. I knew it was a Hail Mary throw but it was the last thing we could think of.

There are better guys than me with electrics on this site but surely must be someway to run a wire from the light switch to back lights so when switch turns they feed the lights and make them come on. Hopefully some one will read this and come up with suggestions for you

I hope so but so far no such luck in solving it. Great advice on what to test and how. So at least I have learned something.
