Promise you wont laugh ?
What happened was, i just wired up the dash turned it on and it worked fine.
So i started tidying up when i found that i hadnt wired the transducer to the loom and onto the gearbox, so i started doing it, slipped the heat shrink down the wire and soldered it.
Of course when i soldered it the heat travelled down the wire and shrunk the heat shrink a little so i couldnt get it over the connection.
So because i was so excited with my new dash i completely forgot to cover the connection and taped them all up together, so they was all touching !
Unfortunately i still didnt realise what i had done even when i turned the car on again and i blew the instrument pack fuse !
And so i figured it out the next day after driving around with no speed just revs !
A lesson to all of you kids !
happens to the best of us, think i did once......when i was 15

Yeah i suppose i could look at it like that !
