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.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
