new gauge cluster
Anyone know where I can get a new gauge cluster (the whole unit with speed, reve, trip, odometer) in MPH. Also if it has different speed to mine will the new cluster and the speed sensor wkow this so itll tell me the right speed. Ive been seraching the net but cant find anything, any ideas?

Re: new gauge cluster (fozzy1)
It will work, you don't have to change speed sensor, etc. It is done by different settings of the electronics inside the cluster. However you must get the same type of gauges if you want it to be "plug&play". So, if you have normal gauges, get normal, if you have electroluminescent, get electroluminescent. If it is an automatic transmission car - get cluster for an automatic. If it is 4WS, get 4WS, etc...
Where to buy: i think ebay.com is the best way to get them.

Yes, it should be from a 4WS version, otherwise it would be without 4WS light. The rest would work however.
a 1993 version is "normal" gauges - it means it is backlighted with classical 12V bulbs and has mechanical trip and odometer.
A few of 1994-1996 models were equipped with electroluminescent gauges: it means backlighted by electroluminescent tubes, digital trip and odometer.
It is not plug&play if you would like to put an electroluminescent one into non-electroluminescent prewired car. It requires electrical conversion, however it can be done. I did this operation in my 1992 car.

Re: (wstef)
what do you do about the odometer as it will show different mileage to mine, also the one ive ordered is in MPH (Odometer) but my odometers still KPH, shouldnt make a difference should it?

Re: (fozzy1)
You have 2 possibilites:
- leave the mileage on the bought cluster as it is,
- make an adjustement on the bought cluster, and set your mileage to value converted form the original one (remembering that 1 mile = 1.6 km).
Making an adjustement requires disassembly of the cluster and is a very very delicate process (to not damage it).
