Hi there just need some advice with my 3 gauges really, the ones in the centre dash
and then the temp gauge in the drivers dash. All of them seem to
work but stick when they get to a certain point, then when you
turn off the car they should go down to the bottom but with these you have to tap
them to make them go back down :?

is there anything you would recomend to find out how to fix this problem or any idea
what causes this :?:

if anyone could help or has had this
problem
I would be greatfull for some advice on this.

Many thanks. :)

If the dials are working - and only not going down.

Personally, this suggests to me that the centre of the dial indicators/hands (the round black thing) is touching the plastic above.

you could possibly try pushing the clear plasic just above the black base (on the hands on the dials) to see if this pushes them in abit causing them not to stick. The clear plastic has some give - but be careful not to actually crack the plastic itself!!!

however, if they are sticking because the actual motors/dials/needles have just had their day - then a change of dials will most probably be the most feasible solution.

Hope this helps.
