Crazy electrical probems

[chrisyerkes]

Ok so I have been trying to figure out for awhile nmow why my headlights wont work, I can get high beams but no driving lights. I also noticed that when I rev up the car my mph guage gos up and my mileage on the car goes up as well as if the car is driving. Any help!

Dont know about the lights, but the speedo is a common problem (the capacitors leak after a while).  Just replaced my entire cluster with a 2nd hand one and cured it straight away.

Ok yeah I will replace them this weekend to see if that fixes the problem. Not to sure about the lights yet.

I have that same prob wid my speedo, Dont really want to change my clocks, cos i\'ve taken that dash in and out loads of times and dont wanna break the top of the dash cos its so tight to get out. Is there any other way to do it, or is the capacitor as you say causes the problem replaceable?

The capactor(s) are replaceable.  There is a good write up on one of the US sites, however you have to completely strip down the clocks/cluster to get to it.
