Auxiliary gauges

The auxiliary gauges (also known as the fun boy three) consist of a boost gauge (Turbo) / analogue clock (NA), an oil pressure gauge and a voltmeter. They can be accessed by removing the binnacle cover (retained by two screws) from the top of the instrument cluster. Loss or intermittent operation of a single gauge backlight (as opposed to complete loss of Instrument backlights) is most likely due to one of three problems:

  • Poor contact with the lamp holder spade connector - remove the connectors and carefully pinch the contacts together.
  • Poor contact with the lamp leads - disconnect and remove the lamp holder, remove the lamp and clean the wires with fine emery cloth or similar.
  • Fused lamp - disconnect and remove the lamp holder then replace with a 1.2W type 286 (T5 in North America?) wedge base lamp available from good car accessory shops etc.

Note: The lamp holders are quarter turn locking and are easiest removed by turning with a 9mm socket.
