#2: Re: rev counter Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:46 pm ---- You will need to let people know what year the car is, and if it is a Multiplex (chunky indicator/wiper/radio stalks) or a Pre-Plex (Skinny Indicator/wiper/radio Stalks)
#3: Re: rev counter Author: steffan2475, Location: crosshands camarthenshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 4:52 pm ---- Its a 1999on a t and i think its a multiplex
#4: Re: rev counter Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:03 pm ---- No, on a '99 it would be pre-plexed.
I am not 100% (but someone will correct me) but you may need a new/2nd hand instrument cluster.
This is a common fault, so if you do a search (top left corner) and see what you can find. You will probably be able to solve your problem without putting up your own post

#6: Re: rev counter Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:08 pm ---- What does the live data read?
If you need a new cluster, it needs yo be one of a similar.mileage to yours.
#7: Re: rev counter Author: steffan2475, Location: crosshands camarthenshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:12 pm ---- Live data ? Any ideas were i.could find a second hand cluster.
#8: Re: rev counter Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:14 pm ---- eBay would be your best bet.
Maybe a local scrapyard?
#9: Re: rev counter Author: steffan2475, Location: crosshands camarthenshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:17 pm ---- Would it matter if i put a different model one in or has it have to be a glx one like the one that's on the car at the moment ?
#10: Re: rev counter Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:23 pm ---- It doesn't matter too much, but if you get one from a lower spec car it might not have some of the functions (i.e Rev Counter/Oil Pressure Guage) I don't know what spec comes with what so you will have to look that up yourself!
As long as it is from a Preplexed one, then it should be fine
#11: Re: rev counter Author: steffan2475, Location: crosshands camarthenshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:27 pm ---- Thanks
#12: Re: rev counter Author: Martind, Location: Woolsery, North DevonPosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:28 pm ---- Not a problem,
Lee will correct me if I am wrong as he knows his stuff.
Don't take what I say as gospel though, until you have double checked (Or Lee tells you!)
#13: Re: rev counter Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 5:34 pm ---- as long as its from pre plexed has same functions and same plug ect its fine but needs to be around same mileage
#14: Re: rev counter Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun Mar 04, 2012 3:10 am ---- Don't forget the mileage!
Also petrol and diesel
#15: Re: rev counter Author: mdstone, Location: South WalesPosted: Tue Mar 06, 2012 1:58 am ---- I had an erratic rev counter once which also did nothing at times and it was down to a cracked ABS Ring.
