Not too bad... I've partway taken the dash out... I started with removing the surround for the gear knob, which just clips in... Then there are 2 or 4 screws under the stereo... You'd also find it easier to remove the steering wheel shroud (MAYBE?!?) they are just screws underneath... The rest of the dash should be clips...

You're best off taking it to a place that specialises in fixing gauges. There's a place in Sydney called Truspeed that does it, not sure if there's anything similar in Melbourne but there probably is. Shouldn't cost more than $50 or so.

metbluegtst how do u know u r odo hasnt been wound back ? i dont think there is an import that hasnt . even local cars have been wound back .

wld 747 easy to take the cluster out but u will stuff it up if u try o fix the odo take it to an instrument specialist .

u dont have to take the steering column shroud of u can pull it out with out taking that off .

1st u take the ashtray out , then 2 ( i think ) screws that hold the stereo cluster suround and another 2 above the steering column the rest is held in by clips but double check that there is not any more screws . once u pull that off( u have to undo the electrical plugs ) then u 'll see the 4 screws that hold the cluster in take them out , pull the cluster out a little undo the plugs at the back (3or 4 i think )then u should be able to pull it out , u have to rigle it a bit and find the best side to take it out , i think to the left of the steering .

My odometer decided to pack it in just after i got the car. Less than 1K after in fact. So i took it straight back to the importer to deal with it. Cost at all haha. My VL that has been in the family since brand new has also had odometer dramas. It stopped at 267xxx quite a few years back. Hell, it should be well on it's way to a million by now lol.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
