Hello everybody.
Is there any particular reason for the rev-counter/tachometerand
'economy' indicator to have stopped working completely, after
disconnecting the battery last weekend for a slow overnight recharge ?
Any pointers would be very welcome. The fuses look OK
Many thanks in advance
Andrew Allen

Andrew,
most likely old/fault y batteries in the SI board
do a google search.

The SI batteries have probably died. You need to fit new AA size NICADs
with solder tags just behind the service indicator lights. Charge them
before installation. I had a 525e with the same fault.

Many thanks to Keith and John for your rapid replies. Oh well, I
suppose I'll have to dive into the entrails of the dash board again !
Thanks again
