been playing with my Speedo

[marc vectra sri]

Been playing with my Speedo and I sanded off the red on the needles so they where clear can be tricky at the silver points with just marking one needle but not too fused I've then put blue leds behind the needle for a neon effect. I will next prob change it all to white with blue needles. Still need to change the LCD screen aswel

Looking good mark ,your a brave man stripping out and working on your dials like that,I wouldn't know where to start lol

Cheers done it a few times now so I know what am doing with them

Looking good.

Regarding putting the needles back on, is it just guesswork to get them back on at the right position?

Just put them all on 0 mate

Fair enough. Just thought I'd read somewhere on here about having to be very careful about not turning them anti-clockwise or something. Probably thinking of something else though.

Is there a How 2 on here somewhere for removing and dismantling the speedo?

EDIT:

Found it

There is but it is really simple lol al give u a run down

Pull off the dash strips
Put your steering wheel down and towards you
Now pull the plastic bit front of the clocks
Remove the two torx screws
Pull down the clocks from the top so they come flat on the face
Unplug the connector
Bring the dials out off the car
On the rear there is a few little screws
Take off the back panel
Now unclip the clips and pull the front off (plastic front)
Needles u just turn antilock and pull at the same time
3 clips on rear to unclip and there u have it
It looks hard but its really easy
