So my decision to just stay home and have a drinky was probably the wrong one then?
Mines still a "work in progress" though. Soon as my payout comes through (anytime soon as everything's signed and sent back) I can throw some proper money at her... So dirty work slag it'll be tomorrow I'm affraid.
Yours is looking lovely btw

Thanks chris, i had leather before in my last t5 which was ok, but you tend to slip around alot when you push it. Also when there is no aircon it can get bloomin hot lol, she's only a se spec but has come along way since i bought her.

Yeah i rarely do take interior pic's , nowt much to look at really, the 850's are dated inside but do drive good

I love my v70 Clocks

**MoleT-5R** · Saturday 11th May 2013, 17:11

did the V70 clocks just plug in and work ( speedo/odometer etc) or is there a bit more to it than that ?, as I like the P1 R clocks in blue

Plugs straight in buddy you loose the boost gauge so it has to be plugged or redirected to a aftermarket one, these were only 10k out to shes done 138k clocks read 148k. The v70 clocks dont work in obd1 850's they fall to read the speed as its taken from the gearbox in the early cars not the cv joints.

I have rewired it tho in the past on my old car.

I'll bear that mod in mind, if the right clocks come along at the right price I may be tempted to fit a set to the T5-R, I have a set here but think the mrs's would do her nut if I pinch them out of her V70R....lol

Thanks for the info mate
