I know the feeling, Frank. It's been a nightmare with the needle breaking but don't give up now, though! I've had the instrument cluster out God knows how many times now, but it gets easier. A lot of the jobs haven't been straightforward. I've got to take the cluster out again to replace the voltage regulator and LCD clock (for a third or fourth time now). I was thinking I might ask you - you must be able to do it with your eyes closed by now

Psychologically, I can't be bothered, but I will. It'll be worth it in the end. Perseverance will pay off. That's all I've had at times
I'm sure someone here will be able to help you out with the required bits. Don't despair! It's one of the joys of having an old car

(I had to say it!)
