What should i do?

[neal]

well i have had the worst day of my life really crap dont want to go into details but top and bottom of it is
do i keep the fronty or sell it ? I duno what to do i love the fronty but duno weather to spend out on the manifold and clock thats pretty much all that wrong with it apart from it due a service and number plate lights aint working i no it dont sound much but i dont have the skill to do the work and dont feel confident enough to try and do it on my own so im just thinking at the min what the garage bills are going to be and is it really worth it?

Hi Neal don't give up i found a company last year that can revamp the clocks i posted it on another thread i think it was on one andysd1's.

they will rebuild the clocks with new parts for about £110 instead of new from VX at £450


there is a light at the end of the tunnel not just some bugger shining a torch

cheers for the comments everyone i think if it went i would miss it its got under the skin im going to do a bit of ringing around to get some prices want to get manifold sorted 1st as the local farmers tractor is quieter and has more power plus it might help out with trips to the pump not alot but a bit i have spoke to hipo about the clocks but at the min i need it everyday and really cant do without it
also i think the clocks may have been out before as the little button for trip is stuck solid and i have noticed over the last few days the temp gauge is moveing up to the blue if im sat in traffic etc could the needle have been reset wrong?

Whats actually wrong with the thing and where abouts are you?

[neal]

glad im not the only 1 with temp gauge like that so in theory if im getting to top of blue shes getting warm and the fans should kick in? I have never heard the fan kick in yet but the never had the temp high enough i dont think other problem is speedo is dead dont do anything have tried with lights on off just sides etc but nothing even a slap and still nothing im really missing the speedo as pc plods loves to hide in that white van with the gun i have already been caught doing 33mph in a 30mph limt and cost me 60 quid and 3 points

Meezer to the rescue lol. OK I have a spare set of clocks for a Fronty B (v6 3.2) that should sort you out. I purchased them from a guy in Newcastle to replace mine (2.2 DTI) they were sold as fully working, At the same time a scrapper came to my attention so I took the clocks out of that and straight into mine, 2 days later the other clocks turned up. I haven't tested them myself as the clocks I fitted work perfect and at the moment don't have the time. So if you want them I will sell them for what I paid which was £50 plus postage.
As far as the manifold is concerned..... contact everyone on eBay breaking theirs you should be able to get one for less than £20.
Let me know about the clocks?
