On a recent trip to Europe when the speedo and tacho were in direct sunlight the tacho needle became stuck on several occasions, fine when cold. Seems the face plate distorts. Anyone else have a this or a solution?

Cheers

Adrian

well - keep it in the shade, or you can do what some of the other guys have done. Take the cluster apart and glue the face down with silicone/rtv. Apparently the needle will bend if you look at it wrong - be careful.

I took the cluster apart and glued the face down with super glue and an unabridged dictionary. It's never distorted again.
