Just fitted the instrument cluster from a 440 turbo into mine (440 2.o ltr GLT ) same plugs and electronic instead of speedo cable, (mine had a catastrophic Info Centre failure) all working ok now except the fuel gauge which did briefly make an appearance and then stopped, although the orange light does come on (every now and then), seems like a fuel gauge is common failure, how come noone has sussed it out yet?
Does anyone know the ins and outs of removing the alarm/immobiliser? Mine seems to have been by-passed causing all kinds of silly problems ( no dash lights, no fuel gauge, no central locking, no clock and no ionterior lighting, everything excep locking works with ignition on, when its off though everything is off completely! Even have to reprogram the radio again. I have a red LED on constantly whilst driving too.
Is it just a waste of time trying to fix this beast?
I do really enjoy putting vauxhall corsa owners to shame with my beasty but fear its just going to burst into flames at the earliest opportunity.
