Angry My speedo is ready a bit dodgy...

Since I had my Lockwood white dials fitted they look great but since then my speedo and temp gauge has never been in sync.

My temp guage 'normal' should be in the middle but reads 3/4 of the way up!

(and) when my needle is reading 38MPH I am actually doing 30MPH.

Who can I see about this because it is really beginning to annoy me... any idea on cost... I live London...

I don't want to take it back to the same garage who done a bodge job; I am still very furious with them.

Default

the speedo is simple to fix m8, just remove the cluster and take the front cover off (it just unclips) then gentley push the speedo needle down a little, and then refit the clocks (without the cover on) and take it for a drive, and keep adjusting it until your happy that it is correct, once happy, replace the front cover.

As for the temp gauge, mine is now also shagged after fitting white dials, I made sure not to touch it when I cut the old face off and fitting the new white face, however as soon as I switch the ignition on, the gauge goes straight to the top.

Also my rev counter doesn't work 100% either as when I tried to remove the needle using the spoons as advised it pulled the spindle out with it aswell, and thus has lost the tension that should be there
