#1: white powder in my speedo cluster Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:37 pm ---- Been wondering what it was since I bought car, as it definitely wasn't dust as too white and powdery.
I took off the surround and it was like a sodding ash tray under their.
Yuck!
I can't imagine what the previous owners lungs must look like although I have a pretty good idea now!
So is there any way to get into the unit as it looks sealed, to clean it out?

Dont try and take the back off tho because itll break

The top binnacle pops off from the back first then towards the front, then you can get into the speedo unit quite easily.

That would make more sense. Last owner must have been a window licker to get it under there though
#12: Re: white powder in my speedo cluster Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Thu Jan 26, 2012 7:40 pm ---- Wow this might sound turd but I'm blown away at how easy that was to sort out, cowel off, undo screw change bulbs, everything working properly again.
When I took speedo cluster out it must have been a cm deep in yet more cigarette ash, so cleaned out and took lens off and cleaned dust out.
Looks like brand new now and no longer smells like a dog's tuppence when car warms up. It smells so sweet
And I don't know exactly what a dog's tuppence smells like before anyone say's anything but it's probably not particularly sweet! Point made
