Re: dash facia clip
However, if you can't get hold of one, it's best to have the missing clip at the stereo end of the fascia. That way, it's held in place by the nuts that fasten the stereo to the fascia.

It may be worth mentioning that B&Q have had a range of `stubby` tools, ratchet screwdriver (with 4 bits in handle!), ratchet handle (3/8 +1/4), hammer, in a bargain basket near exits for a couple of weeks Good one Steve. It's amazing how often stubby tools come in handy. At that price, I might...

Hope this works now transferring numbers to a different speedo :? As long as the worm & wheel line up & numbers are held from spinning while transferring I don't see why it shouldn't. Definitely worth a try, let us know how you get off Nick. :goodluck: Hi Rob, Fella I cannot see any reason ...
