i see you took of the shaded perspex... does everything work good then?

by the way... you can get an oil pressure sender off of an astra gte and put it in where your current switch is and run a wire up so your pressure gauge works...

Does your Engine management light work ?
If so what colour wire did you connect it to, cause I can't get mine to come on.

yeh engine management light works, its a blue/brown wire on both the astra plug and corsa loom. i had trouble with my handbrake light at first the bulb seemed to be ok by lukin at it but i got a new one neway from vaux and it works ok, i assume uve checked ur bulb for the engine managment light?

Yeh I've checked the bulb, i'll have another look at it soon, It might just be a dodgy connection or something.

Chris, you might want to put a thin sheet of perspex or something over that to keep all the dust etc off. Slightly tinted might look good.

Do you know where you can get real thin stuff ?
I tried it with mine, but the only stuff I could find was fairly thick I got it from B&Q.
And it didn't like bending, so I experimented with heating it up then bending it, but it when warped the clear layer slightly and made things look a bit odd.
