Are my Needles in the correct position?

[Westicles]

i was thinking about replacing my dials for some lockwood ones, but just out of Curiosity i think mine have been taken off before, they have marks by the needles (as pictured below) as when you take them off with a fork ? or other removing item?

also i was wondering if the needles looked to be sat in the correct position (with the engine off)

when i turn my engine off the needles seem to drop from where they are now,

(below the lowest rev counter mark + onto the bottom of the last speedo mark)

then go back up into this position.... is this correct?

cheers

speedos def wrong. hold the trip computer button and turn ignition on the dials will go crazzy but they stop on 20 40 60 etc n fuel and heater gauge do same

hey mate, just tryed this, and my needles went to 45, 85, 125, and off over 160..... so obviously somone has taken the needle off and replaced it incorrectly?

*this is maybe y when i accidently went through a 30mph zone at 40, i didnt get caught speeding *

yer the needles should land dead on the values

there easy enough to take off and redo, but if you do break them its not a cheap fix for new dails unit

well hopefully, just like evryone else on here, ile just put a fork under the main bit, and hopefully lever it off gently....

and thanks for the video, great help

not my vids lol google`d em, are you just changing the speedo?

once u get to dail units use 2 teaspoons and gently leaver up,then reapply but dont push all way down, run test again make sure its correct then push full down

yeh i will do that mate, im just changin the dial faces (lockwood ones) and hopefully going to change the LED back lights 2..

 

[biojo]

ye i changed to them, just check all outer icons match to theres for some reason mine had 2 different, so kept the outer icons as original plastic sheet

 

[Westicles]

how did you do that?

 

[biojo]

the outer black icons , headlights , seatbelt, door open, i had to cutaround, think lockwood endd up making some to be direct fir but wasnt till a year after i fitted mine

 

[Westicles]
