Fetched the new frontera :-D by richardshall on Mon Jan 16, 2012 7:25 pm
Finally found a 2.2dti that ive been after, went to fetch it after work and very happy with it. Not as new as i hoped but its in good condition in and out.
T reg 1999. Just need to sort out the speedo / clocks that are playing up.
Anyone got any ideas or come accross this this problem before, the speedo isnt working, the rev counter works when the side lights are on and the lights in the panel seem dim. Not sure if its a wiring problem rather than faulty clocks but every frontera ive been to look at has ahd the same fault so i take it that its fairly common. Will put some pics on when i can take some in the light. :D :D

I believe it's a fairly common problem with the B-Series dashboards. If you're reasonably confident with a soldering iron you can follow the guide in this thread to fix it... viewtopic.php?f=50&t=10226#p116585

Failing that, contact Hipo1024. I believe he will do the repair for you for £30... memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=10647
