Default Rev counter and clock help

Got a small issue people,

since i bought the 100, the rev counter has only ever worked on 2 occasions..

Also, the clock does not seem to have a permanent power feed to it.

Ignition turns off, clock display goes off, ignition back on, the clock comes back on at exactly the same time it went off. Im thinking permanent live issue. Are the 2 problems linked?
How on earth can I get the clocks out to see? theres a mass of very well put together plastic!

Also my temp gauge never seems to go very high, only once have I seen it his halfway, is this normal?


Cheers

Matt

how high does it go...?

dodgy connectors at the temp sensor on mine and instrument panel solders were to blame.

if you do these and its still not getting up to temp..then could be the pressure escaping out of the water system...(leak).....

which i also recently experienced...
