hi recently bought 93 fd3 type r ,got it pretty cheap as a few bits here n there needed.one thing that i would like some advise from you guys on before i start ripping bits off the car is,the speedo is stuck on top speed,the rev counter  is not working but moves sharply every now n then,the fuel gauge only goes to 1/8 of the gauge the temp gauge only seems to work properly hopefully and the digital display is not working just glowing orange.do you thinks its new clocks or loose wires ,and are these all connected together like a normal car dash clock set or single gauges.cheers

Hi,
The set of \'clocks\' (speedo, rev counter, oil, water, fuel etc) are wired via wiring blocks pushed in to the back of the clock set.
 
I\'ve read threads on here that older clocks can suffer from incorrect readings or irratic operation.
 
I had a faulty set and purchased a replacement set from a guy breaking a later year car on here. Now works fine.
 
Removal and replacement is not hard and you will find advice on here or the internet.
 
Hope this helps.
