Hi
Bit of a long shot but has anyone got a spare tacho for a V8S they would like to swap for some beer tokens, mine has given up the ghost?
Failing that can anyone recommend a good repair shop for his type of instrument?

Hi

Just a quick update re the failed Rev counter, I managed to get it sorted using a company called JDO Instruments in Keighley.

They were unable to repair the gauge but fitted a new electronic movement inside, still looks and functions the same with the same harness and plug.

Couldn’t fault the service, dropped it off on Tuesday afternoon and it was back in the car by Friday teatime all for the princely sum of £150 including express postage.

Just to clarify, the price was for removing the internals and fitting a new mechanism, it did not include removing the Rev counter from the car, I did that myself and took the unit to JDO.
Removing the tacho is not a big job, usually take less than 15 mins to remove either the tacho or the speedo (had a bit if practice recently!)
