Dash questions

[G4orce]

Most of the lights behind my dash dont light up any more I was wondering if anyone could halp me with how to change the glubs so that all the lights work. Also when you drive around what level does your oil temp sit at. At The Moment my car Only moves a little bit when i turn it on and doesn't move at all when driving or thrashing. I am not sure it that mean the gauge is buggered or not. Also back to the lights behind the dash is it legal to have just the standard yellow/white colour globes or can you change the colour of them.

um too bad i dont have an oil guage. cant help ya there. in regards to the lights check ur fuses to start. there should only be one globe under ur gearstick which is easy to remove. just take off the interior above it untill all that is there is the stick and the white plastic. undo the white plastic lift it a bit (cant get it off, well i havent been able to anyways) then put ur hand underneath and u will feel the wire and the globe. replace then stick it back in its hole in the white crap and put everything back in. um dash lights u will need to take the cluster out to get to. be careful not to break anything!

Fuses are all good and the only lights that down work are the oil remp and fuel level. I will pull it out and have a look I'm not to sure how to do but i will experiment. :yeah:

temperature gauge doesnt move very much at all when driving (maybe half a notch?) but after driving for an hour or so, and then sitting idling, the temperature will rise, ur gauge isnt broken

You got to take the dash cluster out that's easy for me and i'm a stodge
4 screws 2 inside top and 2 bottom, Pull the outer peace off and unplug the switches, Make sure you remember where they go being a calais there might be a couple,
Stick your hands in and remove the cluster the globes are on the back, Or best thing might be go to a mate that's good or a mechanic Let him do it like i do

Pulling the dash surround be careful with the Calais as it has 5 loom connection vs the 2 on execs so can be a little trickier when putting back together.
Live localy in Melb ill do it all for you, can't bare to let you **** it up as calais looms and switch banks are hard to get. (can only get from VP calais or VQS2 Stato).

Cheers Paul.
