Why make up a story about it not turning up, when it quite clearly has?

Cheeky tw@t could have used his own picture.

Not sure if it is the same as in the E30s but failed Service Lights and rev counter was nearly always a failed ni-cd battery on the SI board. It is apparently possible to solder in a new battery. Though I'd recommend just exchanging the board for one with a new battery fitted. I got mine from Munich Legends though that was at least 6 years ago. Not sure if they still offer that service.

I note that the car has been sitting for a long time. It might just come back to life with some regular use... though that is probably a long shot.
