Dial-face template

So, here it is...

 

 

Andi - how come your ABS warning light is next to the headlamp switch?

 

All other C's I've seen have it at the top of the switch pod to the left of the steering wheel.

Cos I have aircon, which takes up two slots at the bottom of the left button array with "Norm" and "Max" buttons - so the ABS was moved to the useless "Unleaded fuel" panel, it would seem.

Or whatever is usually there in a late-spec C.

Now I'm even more confused - I thought those buttons were in the Cig Lighter trim surround towards the top?

 

Ah well....

ehmmm... so you'll need to change the rev counter to 8000 rpm... and... try to fade out the pictures... the sharp edge gives it a cheap look i think..

Is it still accurate, or is it 10mph out?

 

If still accurate, you may have pressed it too hard and it's just the friction of the needle and the paper stopping it.

 

If 10mph out, get to the dials - pop off the needle, and replace it pointing at the bottom corner of the dial - if you sort of imagine it, its about 0mph. Make sure its firm, then bend it over the needle-stop.

 

HTH.
