Welcome along mate. Thats a very nice DT you have. Dont listen to what any one says about the spoiler. Those sp ones are mint.

As for the rev counter. You will more than likely have to replac the clock which means loosing you genuine mileage. So what id sugest is you get yourself a seperate rev guage like a boost guage style as it would be a shame to loose the mileahe on such low mile ph1 DT

Also where are you located?

phase 1 is the old style mechanical odometer, right?

Must be a way of taking it to bits and changing it surely?

Welcome along, car looks awesome!

It was put together, therefore there will be a way to take it to bits.....

Welcome along, tidy looking car you have!

As for the Rev counter not working, have you checked that the sender is working properly? Or come to think about it that its even plugged in? because that is where I would start personally as its the easiest thing to check and change Smile

As far as the clutch cable goes, it could be a stuck auto adjuster thing or dry bushes on the release fork in the gearbox, I would start with the car switched off stamping on the clutch pedal and then stepping off it so that it slams back to the top, repeat this 5-10 times and see if it makes any difference (again easiest and cheapest thing first)......hope this helps Wink

Welcome along bud. Your car looks sweet. I had a sigma ph1 for my first car when I was 17. Try changing the rev counter sensor first. Mine didn't work and that's what I changed to fix it
