Yeah, the LED globe on the top right doesn't bother me too much coz it's just the battery gague, still works but it's a little dull.

did it take long to pull apart the dash to get to the leds?

Don't have to pull that cluster apart at all. Just remove the standard globes at the back of it and replace them. Hardest part was removing the wiring loom from the bottom rhs of the cluster without snapping the wires.

I think it takes me all of about 15 minutes to pull the dash down, cluster out, swap lights and put it all back together now lol!

LOL i've done it a few times too, and have mastered the art of pulling the dash out. It does only take about 20 minutes to do once you know where all the screws are and how everything fits into place.

Lol practice buddy, practice. I've had mine apart over a dozen times, and a couple of other cars apart a dozen times between em.
Theres only like 8 screws or so plus the 4 on the cluster, and then a few plugs to clocks/trip/demist and to the cluster, not a lot of there when you think about it..

Great result in the midrange there. Very surprised it ran so rich in the midrange with a stock cam!
PM me your details so I can add you to the Owners Gallery -

Yeah mate tell me about it. One of the reasons I had it tuned and chipped was because of how rich it was running. After putting the foot down hard and pulling up you could smell unburnt fuel and it was strong!!!

Nah not good. Taking it to a mates tomorrow see if we can fix it.
Either the oil pump itself or the shaft that drives the pump is cactus.
