Hm, unfortunately, I don't remember, how I did it, if u are talking about ignition switch. If the dashboard prevents u from placing it in place, unscrew theese two bolts that are holding dashboard on right side, that will allow u to pull dashboard back for some cm's, I think, that must be enough. The same thing is needed, when replacing air con fan, at last on LHD B3/B4's :D

Thanks for the info.ie 2 bolts managed to get ignition lock fitted:rock
Replacement instrument panel arrived ,plugged it in everything working but no autocheck,hmm.The old one had 3 plug ins and had a fuel consumption computor,this one has only 2? Is that another failure? I have abs and battery light on the front.Do i need a special instrument cluster for 90 20v Sport which has slightly different spec.Still got to bleed brakes and check:eek::eek::lol:

So, does it have two warning lights instead of auto check as base speedometer? As we can see here and here, third connector - C - have only one purpose - auto check. I only don't get the idea where connects B connector, because it have only 10 pins, it isn't like other three other connectors, but it doesn't care anyway - it's for on board computer and not autocheck. As I said - in your case I would dismantle speedometer and look for broken electrical paths and when found, solder them with some wire, that's the lightest damage possible there :D

P.S. I still don't get the idea how does MOT can tell before driver that calippers are stuck? :D When they are stuck, "driver feels power loss of car and wheel is unusually hot even after some miles in city" :)

No,the replacement has autocheck but i cant get it to work,I will try what you suggest and open up the faulty instrument unit and have a look cheers m8
