Dont do it!! Youll regret ever touching them!!

They just wont be the same if you mess with them, even if they ever work properly again.

Same here, only to find the 2nd hand ones had been messed with

The temp guage would read as if at normal running temp on cold start up, and when the engine was warm would read at max temp. Petrol one just read full all the time

Your then left second guessing if you put the needles on right, or if they are reading accurately. Im quite thorough and will do things properly, and still ended up having the clocks in and out 10 times to adjust the needles.

But to be fair what you did on your last car looks . So good luck if you go ahead with it
