Right! Its been awhile since we've updated this so here goes!
This is where we left it i think, with the buggered ribbon connector
We now have good news and bad news at the moment really, we did find and buy some clocks from a chap on brickwerks, it took awhile but we got them in the end.
The new clocks:
That is sort of indifferent news really, the good news is that we tested the oil pressure with an electric and manual gauge and its reading fine with both which is a huge relief
. However the bad news is that the new (ish) clocks we purchased must be a different year and dont work properly!!
Funny things happen like when indicating the oil led flashes instead of the indicator led! A few of the other stuff does work though like the lights when on full, (but not the sidelights), the hazards work and the fuel gauge we think. BUT
the strangest thing we found though is that the temp gauge shoots right off the scale regardless!
So we have a few questions that hopefully someone can help us with:
Is there anything we can do to these clocks to solve these issuse I.e switch wires around etc??
Does anyone know what year these clocks look like there from?
Or is there anyway we can tell what year these clocks are?
And are these clocks useless to us and if so is it essential to get clocks for the exact year of our van (1989) ?
Heres a few more photos:
New set from back
The ribbon connector on the new clocks, note in a different place but in much better condition
And the old set, originals from our van
Thanks in advance, Leo and Edd
