Dave,
Just went and had a look at the tacho face, someone has gone over the
positive label on the front with black marker! I will rip the thing out and
make sure it was converted. ( Then I will rip the throut out of the DPO )
Grrrr! The wiring in this car is an absolute mess and my Haynes manual
wiring diagrams dont seem to match anywhere. Would the book you described
have better ones? The MKIIIA doesn't seem to get a mention.
