Re: speedo needle removal
oh you can. but the needles will be resting on the stop pins and u will miss a spot. suppose you could do half then let it dry and do the other half

Re: speedo needle removal
Stripped it all out and low and behold, no red nail varnish also found out someone removed the engine management light bulb and put it in the airbag light. I dont even have airbags

Re: speedo needle removal
Haha think they are just a standard design for all the models which do and don't have airbags
If it ain't green and black send it back

Re: speedo needle removal
Mine has the bulbs missing for things that dont apply to my car. So it look like someone took the EML bulb out and put it in the airbag section next to it

Re: speedo needle removal
Ye sometimes they do it if the eml light goes in and they want to pass mot with it off and they don't loose the bulb that way

Re: speedo needle removal
Well i wouldn't worry to much mate ur car ain't had no problems so i would just assume someone used it to check if the airbag light work and forgot to put it bak in

Re: speedo needle removal
So far so good the sheet of paper stops it hitting the stop pin so can just paint it all at once
