Let me know on how many switches you need. 1 or 2? |
Obviously, GM wants to save each and every penny by omitting unwanted
components from each model, thank God they couldn't replace the instrument console from the EU model.  . Yeah I need two switches as the PS version doesn't've a clock too. I'll be visiting the electronic spare shops in M.G road for a suitable switch. Will let you know once I come across something worthy.
Can you post a pic of rear side of the front cover? I am bit confused with tackling the dummy switches as am yet to open the instrument cluster.
BTW, my OBD dongle is working fine, it was my phone who was acting dumb, once I changed the phone its working seamlessly. Its fun to view the real time gauges on the screen especially the FE once you are on coasting  .
Did you go through the Russian guys photo gallery? He's done a detailed slide show.
My old Solderon soldering iron is not in a good shape, so already placed an order for Stanley soldering iron which is selling on a subsidised rate on Flipkart. Quote:

Really appreciate for your time and effort. |
Count me too for that, its been a long time right Salbin? Plan both of your time of visit so that I can make myself free at mostly any time. Quote:

Nice move, but how many of them can completer it as DIY? Personally I don't trust the roadside tinkers. Only DIY hard cores are getting thrilled to have some extra features without spending big except a bit of patience and time. Quote:

Are you talking about the external sensor on the lower variants? That's the only thing they can do for the cutting the cost. Its quite obvious why they have removed it from a non auto climate control model.
