Speedo Recalibrated and Dash Guide
I finally got the speedo re calibrated! I used a combination of TOMTOM and my Snooper S4 which shows the GPS speed [more accurate than anything else!].
I have also done a quick guide so anyone reading this can get rid of their unwanted display lights.
Removing/Replacing the Dash
1] Disconnect battery using a 13mm socket.
2] Pop out the silver dash strips using a flat head screw driver.
3] Pop off the top of the cowling ontop of the steering wheel column using the flat head screwdriver.
4] Using a 20 sized torx tool [male] undo all the screws holding the dash in place:-
2 x below display.
1 x to the right of the steering wheel - below the heater.
1 x to the right hand side of dash next to door.
1 x in vent to the right hand corner next to windscreen.
1 x in vent to the middle of dash next to windscreen.
1 x 1 x in vent to the left hand corner next to windscreen.
1 x to the left hand side of dash next to door.
3 x above the glove box.
5] There are now no screws holding the dash in apart from the lugs/clips. So using your flat head screwdriver praise the dash off bit by bit working around.
6] Once raised up use force by pushing the pass side dash down by the vent whilst pulling it out towards you. You will now have the dash fairly loose.
7] If you wish - you can now remove the pass airbag for weight reasons [not recommended for safety reasons].
8] The display binnacle can now be removed - pull it towards you and it will pop out.
9] Unclip the rear electrical connectors. 1 x grey, 1 x red. Remove from car.
Eliminating The Unwanted Dash Lights
1] Pull the clear front plastic cover off the binnacle/display.
2] Mark out the position of each needle as it sits on the binnacle.
3] Using 2 x small spoons slide under each needle and pop them off.
4] Turn the display around and undo and remove the small torx screws then remove the black plastic cover.
5] You can now remove the circuit board from the white plastic display mould.
6] Using some black electrical tape cover each of the display recesses in the white display mould, so that it blanks out the unwanted light emitted from the LED.
7] Follow instructions in reverse to rebuild.
This guide probably took me longer to write than actually do.
