Hi all, would kindly like to request some advice

My rev counter at times stop working, sometimes a smack does the job but not always

Also, the car was parked for a year or so and doesn\'t seem ti perform right, seems like no 1st turbo? Not sure as never driven and fd before, I just expected it to be alot quicker? Any advice?

Thanks all

try taking out the cluster and make sure the connectors are all in place

but it is a Common problem and it maybe dry joints or something, had to replace mine once before.

I even bought a spare lol and never had to use it so if your in need to replace let me know.

regards

Have a look for bloated capacitors on the back of the speedo, they can cause it to go iffy.
