Someone has monkied with my GQ's dash

Post by CLUMZ1 »

So, I have a '92 LWB GQ manual with PTO

- It looks like the PTO has been added later
- The engine looks like it was previously an auto (TPS etc)
- The dash has some weird lights.

Just took the dash out and looked at the back, noticed its had a wire cut and soldered to another section, wondering if anyone could decode what the cause and reason for this might be?

on second thoughts, looks like they've put a different dash face on a different rear circuit board and done their best to match up the lights to the correct place.

Looks like pre 92 face with post 92 rear plate...maybe it has had the infamous speedo failure and someone has made up 1 from 2 ?, my 92 has white face with the same rear panel, and my yellow face pre 92 has a different backing to yours, yellow dash will not fit into post 92 as it has different plugs
