Screwed Up My Standard Dials

[blackprincegts]

hey,

yesterday i changed my gts blue faced guages over to the grey type m ones. I used a gts 4 dash so i couldn't just swap it straight over so i unscrewed dials and popped the pin off then screwed the grey ones back in place and popped the pins back in. All of my readings were way out and i managed to fix them by switching on the ignition and resetting them that way as i read in other posts. However, my speedo is out by a good 10-15 kms now and in cant seem to fix it!! any ideas on what i can do? also my tacho is sticking a little but overall seems to be working normally. The needle on the speedo falls back to zero when i come to a stop which i find vety strange.

have i completely screwed it up? i read a post on sdu saying bassically if you take the needles off then you may as well go and get a new dash.

wich id read that 1st b4 doing this.

help would be greatly appreciated because im ripping my hair out at the moment!!

Thanks!

Had this problem myself, I took off the needles, started the car, then while idling put the needle back on so that it read 0km. Next I got the girlfriend to take her car, we went on the street, side by side and checked 10k, 20k, 30k, etc, just to make sure they were spot on...

Worked for me, hopefully should sort your problem out too!
