As much as you are right guys, for a first post I think we might be able to let him off. Doesn't exactly give a warm reception now does it?

Anyway,

Welcome ,Chris! I hope you enjoy your Ownership, There is a lot of info for most problems on the forum, it is recommended that you do A quick search as the chances are your post has probably been covered before but if your still unsure then do put down a post and we can probably help.

When you say you have broken most of the LEDs are you meaning the ones in the clocks or the ones that are for the ice warning light, main beam etc?

Hi jody
Thanks I've have a search on the forum and it's mostly about the speedo and other instruments.
The ones that I've stupidly managed to break are the ice warning and the hand break, indicators as the where glued in with some kind of superman glue, so I need to dig them out and replace the. I've been over all the manuals and kind find any reference.
If you can point me in the Wright direction that would be great.
Many thanks.
Chris

Hi Chris
Welcome to The Madhouse !

Here are a few more references:-

1. Dim dash lights solutions

2. Dash LEDs in general

A slightly less time-consuming way of using Google would be....

Hello Chris and welcome, would have welcomed you properly earlier but I hate typing on my phone so kept it short.


Nothing special about those LED's, if you have a map line near you they should be able to help or if not order some from RS Compenents. The ice warning is just a two colour red/green LED something like this I think http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/3mm-bi-colour-led-uf96e

Hope it helps, you sound about as ham fisted as I am;-)

Hi mr cerbera
It's the first forum I've ever used so still finding my feet lol
Thanks for helping feel like there maybe light at the end of the tunnel hopefully LED.
Also any one need a new cerbera dash as I bought it but changed my mind and made a carbon one?

[Byker28i]

Whereabouts are you? I'm guessing not uk?

[tofts]

The Ice warning light is a tri-lead bi colour LED amber and red, surprisingly not common as most times people want amber green or red green. but anyhows, I bought about 50 of the damn things so if you wnat one I can pop it in an envelope for you along with the other one you need.

As said above, they are either hot glued or super glued in place so no biggy.

Cheers,

Jody

My ice warning light shows red green and blue

[chris-sfrhj]

Thanks guys for your help a big relief thought I was properly stuffed lol
I will update you with the results of my upgrade.

[gruffalo]

What colour dials do you have, mine are black and I have yet to see an effective lighting solution for the instruments, if you find one I will be over the moon.

[chris-sfrhj]

Mine are sort of off white but that maybe discoloured!
When I do mine I will get some black ones from my friend and try some different options and post the pic's for you to see.

Evening Jody and sorry to hi-jack the thread a little, but I've searched in vain for the ice sensor. I know I'm looking for a thermistor in the RH front wing but I can't find anything obvious, any ideas?

The ice sensor, on mine at least, is tucked inside the central lower opening below the numberplate, down where the horns are. It is cable tied to the horn wiring and tucked under the lip formed by the bottom of the opening. I had a real struggle to find mine when it needed replacing and had to take the number plate off to get to it.

This is where mine is also not in the front wing.
