Had a bit of an accident last weekend at a Drift Competition, now the rev counter has stopped working on my 318iS 4.0 v8 conversion.

Anyone got any info on this?

It'll be the wiring or a fuse or the rev counter's knackered or there's a goblin in there somewhere.

Might be worth a try, wondering if mine broke as I went into the ditch lol Will check fuses, and wiring. Thought it might of been the rev chip to half the signal, bypassed that and nothing.
