Ever since GDi did my 2.0ltr conversion 2 of the 3 aux dials have never worked.
I get the oil level dial working fine but the other 2 dont work.

Andy's sparky friend wants £70 to sort them out which if its a 5 min job is a ripoff, but if its 2-3 hrs work then it may be worth getting him to do it.

How do I go about trying to wire them up and where to?

Thanks

how long ago was the conversion??? you should take it back to GDI and get it sorted out imo. If they worked before that is ??

i would contact andy and talk to him - the title you have wrote isnt very tactful mate as it doesnt look good on andys behalf. If there is a problem he will sort it straight away

Sorry about the title, no harm was intended by it and im sure Andy knows this.

When he did my williams conversion I believe it was 1 of the 1st if not the 1st conversion he had done and was stumped by the electrics. I took the car with the intentions of taking it back to him in a few weeks to get his motor electrician guy to sort them for me but his mate would charge me £70 ish.

I decided that at the time I had more important things to spend £70 on and as they didnt effect the performance of the car I would leave them till I could afford it.

Now...... I can afford it but dont want to get Andy to speak to his mate if its a job I can do in an afternoon and can save myself a bit of cash.

Once again, no harm was meant by my title and I have always praised the work of Andy/GDi in public and in private and once again he knows this.

So any ideas on what wires go where would be highly appreciated :D

Oh and the conversion was done about 18 months ago now but the car has only covered 1k miles since the conversion and has been kept in storage all the time.
