Is this the correct replacement for the voltage regulator?

as the temp and fuel gauges were not working so i fitted this
now they do work sort off as the light flashes all the time and reads low
and the fuel gauge reads low
for a start
is this the correct one i fitted?

cheers

Hello,

I'm pretty sure that should work - is it possible you've got it on back to front? I know some of them need putting on "upside down" - worth a try maybe?

That could be it
anyone confirm this?

That is not a direct replacement.
Mount it back to front and pack out the gap with aluminium for a heat sink. If you want the 'reversed ' one you will have to pay around £30 (price when I last looked for them)
You may well have blown that one though if you connected it up incorrectly.

Ok i just turned it round using a nut for the heatsink
already i see the fuel gauge is looking good so the VR isnt blown
will see about the temp gauge working
tommorow
but it looks like that was the problem
now my speedo cable has broken at the end...happy days!
