16v Tachometer help

[Bradharding]

Right I just want confirmation on if I'll need new dials. Everything works fine, apart from the tacho. Occasionally the needle will pop up and show my revs, but very rarely. Also occasionally it pops up but gives a dodgy reading, most of the time it's sat at 0.

Therefore I get the impression it's a bad connection at some point. I have had the dials out and checked the feed wire from the coil, and there was continuity there. I dismantled the dials and looked at the tacho, before deciding it was a bit too complicated, and put it back together, spraying electrical cleaner on the plugs etc. Therefore I can only assume the tacho itself is dodgy? Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks, Brad

never had the problem myself,
but a new set of clocks cost 15quid max may as well replace the lot

Yeah I see what you mean mate, but I can buy a set of clocks. Check the tacho works. If it does then swap it with mine, that way I still keep my mileage reading.
