Very smart!! 8)

Thats a thought for those who buy mondeo petrol clocks for the rev counter could get the diesel coloured backgrounds and then the redline would be in the correct place!! :idea:

these are the diesel ones but when you buy them they come with 2 different speedo heads and 2 different revcounters so you have 2 left over luckily my van came with a rev counter so it was even easier , took about 1hr to do most of that was removing trim / dash very good instructions with them . i looked on ebay but no one sold mondeo diesel ones so i went to lockwood's website and bought them there

Yeah, all the back panels & dash is purple.
I'm doing the roof lining in black & white tiger strip.
Got plans for the outside but that'll be next spring, 'cos of the weather but its getting there.

Is it a tricky job to wire the tacho? will guages from any mondeo do the job.... will the speedo, fuel & temp guage be accurate or do you have to swap the tranny ones over.... Ian

from past experience it seems to be a simple job the worst part is getting all the plastic dash off in one piece :lol:

The only thing you really need to watch with the Mondeo gagues is that you need a diesel one otherwise the red line will be in the wrong place.
