Removing clocks/speedo - point me to the topic

Post by endorfin » Fri Sep 07, 2012 5:30 pm

I'm not having much luck with the search function, I want to get around to removing the speedo clocks to replace the bulbs amongst other things and try and fix my display matrix...I'm pretty sure there was a step by step guide here somewhere but can't seem to find it now.

Would someone more talented with the search function point me to the correct topic, preferably one with pictures.

Needing a matrix repair then you must have an s2 car... Im not as familiar with s2 even though ive done a few so Im not gonna risk telling you anything in case its wrong.. however if it were an s1 then that's different.... :D

Its a Mk2.
Not sure we have done a dash strip for that.
I need to swap the speedo in the latest estate as it sticks at 55 most of the time.
I will take some photos as I do the job and post them.
