I was getting this confused with the RR day :o...I cant make Sunday as its the rents wedding anniversary and I "have" to attend a meal :(
But il pop over to frost on the 7th providing people are still doing that??
^^^ could well be Truro bought my discs from Eurocarparts and I swear the hub size was 32mm. I had to go to bury motospares to get the fucker as they didn't have a 32mm sicket in Stow!
f*****s.
Found edde's little write up

ignore some of the dates, as said mines an 02 and had cc and ESP as standard.
It's not to do with power of the LEDs as such.
That lm3914 pictured above has an input pin which in theory you would take pin 4 of the red connector too. Now "if" that chip fit whatever gets some kind oscilation through bad connecting up then that input pin "could" have some kind of positive or...
Most 2002 reg sports excluding the cups, came with climate control and ESP as standard. Think cruise was an option.
Then in 2003 they came with everything I think. Again cruise might of been an opption though.
Maybe.
What I mean is when you tap onto certain tracks sometimes you can induce a small bit of voltage that could have an effect on the signal that's already there.
Hard to explain as I'm a crap teacher but when you add a circuit onto that pin you might get what's called oscilation which is a...
I "think" so.
Although again I think there are some 51 plate phase 2's that didn't have ESP.
I seem to remember greeneys not having ESP. Came as standard in 02/52 although some early 2002 cars might not have it.
I might even have a load of crap lying around at work that could be used...hmmmm finish work off quickly tomorrow and spend the rest of the day playing with circuits??? If I get a chance I might.
Suppose I could break out the osciliscope and do some readings to see what actually happens with the rev counter at certain rpm.
It's obviously signal related you just need a circuit that can convert this signal into limghting LEDs.
That component dink gave you does that, haven't looked...
I took my ashtray out and just leave my rstuner plugged into that.
What stuff can u do with that then?? Turn off a few lights and basic diagnosis I reckon???
Yes it makes sense but that's a very arse about face way of doing it. And long winded.
Capacitors charging to light an led...f**k me that's old old school!
That's why a switch wouldn't work (well not that kind anyway) the needles in a phase 2, if you put them back in place too hard youl find they don't move freely, similar "might" happen if a switch like that is used.
F you really want to try the microswitxh route then find a microswitch that is a double pole, single through, normally closed.
I can show u a diagram tomorrow (on my phone at the mo) on how to wire it up so that when the switch is activated it turns one led off and turns the other on.
I can do u a video of how quiet my ktec mild steel is if u want?? mines de-catted though so it will be louder.
Unsure of the yozza as i haven't had one.
