Re: D9 Speedo / cluster change

It seems like your Hdi has the mux cluster but the donor car has a d8 or d8 1/2 cluster.

Re: Rear view mirror vibration - is their a fix?

Top one is quite easy, the gearbox one is abbot more difficult but quite straightforward and the third one requires to remove the driveshaft as it goes through the bracket and it also needs pressing I believe.

Re: End of the road ?? Or a new start...

Nice to know you found a car and the 2.0hdi is indeed very reliable (I had a 306 with this engine and did 180k with no problem).

Re: End of the road ?? Or a new start...

However rev counter and speedometer are the same diameter. Regarding illumination you should note that full mux 406s have a different syst...
