Well, a Berlingo turned up in my local scrappy and it had the right dash in.
So, £5 and half hour later, I had a working speedo (quite a novelty after all this time). Only down side is, my mileage has gone up from 171,000 to 191,000 now. But, being a 2001 vehicle, I'm not overly bothered.
Also bought a new drivers side door mirror(complete unit) as the old one had been bodged together with some wire and lots of body filler. When I tried to fold it in one evening, there was a load crack and it just fell down danging on the wiring and adjuster cable. Looks tidy again now, well worth £23. Just gotta fit the coloured insert on the front of it.
Next job is change the thermostat, top up with antifreeze mix and then take a look at the drivers seat base. Feels like I've got a bucket seat in there at the moment (apart from the bars that dig into my a55 cheeks).
I'm hoping I don't need to pull the whole dash out again, the heater blower is starting to get noisy. Sometimes it's ok, other times sounds like there's something about to tumble out from under the dash. lol
