Just want to put on record my appreciation for the guys at Dulford for the work they have just done on my car. I had been waiting for three of my gauges to be returned after re-calibrating at "Speedy Cables", & after having them for four months!! (yes you read that right) they were ready for re-fitting. My car also needed a few little jobs doing, new door pins, a couple of new sender units, the alarm looking at, the fitting of a new dashboard I have made, & a Mark Adams chip.
This is the dash......




...........I just bought a length of dark blue alcantara from ebay & used the old dash as a template. Might not be for everyone but I like it.
Initial impressions of the MA chip are good. Most of the shunting at low speeds has gone, & there is no hesitation during leisurely acceleration at all. Throttle response is also greatly improved too.
They also provided me with a quote for the recent accident damage, when a f***ing bus ran into me when I was parked up, so hopefully they will be approved for the repair. I know when they have her she is in good hands.

Like the alcantara look, works really well. As for your dials, I think overall you were fairly lucky to get them back in only 4 months...

I think that looks really good.

I do like the original, but with the dash being the only wood in the car I have times when I think it really doesn't suit the overall look of the car properly.

Much prefer that look to alloy.

I could do with adding a couple of extra guages, so a new layout is a distinct possibility.

That dash looks really good!

I've had nothing but great service from Dulford: they checked over my car before I bought it and then gave it a thorough service after I'd got it.

I was going to get them to do a full body-off refurb over Nov/Dec but due to some unexpected time off work I decided to have a go myself...... Whilst very enjoyable 'learning' the car in this way there were many times I wished I'd left it to them - in fact on several occasions it was nearly loaded onto a trailer in bits and delivered to them to sort it!!!
