Or the needle has been off at some time and refitted in the wrong position.

thanks lads, it was in fact the wrong cluster.

so much swapping and changing between 316 and 325 clusters, it's now finally working correctly after rewiring the 325 cluster from C101, using the 316 gauges and 325 SI board :mad:

lol yeah i had to refit the fuel gauge needle, it was far too low. 20 quid in the tank would barely reach the "R" reserve mark.

anyway another thing checked off the list. now to mend the handbrake & brake pad warning lights.
