Do you have a pic of your clocks mate???

Is it the grey background with the yellow numbers that you are looking for? 24v?

[SHORTSANG86]

Nah ill try get one tonight its the jap import safari 24volt not sure if that helps or makes a difference , and do you know the difference between the 2 clusters

[chrisc2306]

I had the same problem when I got my safari and I actually just put a 12v one from a Patrol in it because that is all I could source and it worked no problem and is still working fine. The difference is the speedo, do, tacho, fuel are 24v the oil and temp are 12v but as I said a 12v cluster worked fine in mine. Hope this helps

I have heard that if you strip it down and try and resolder the connections on the back of the speedo it can sometimes get it back up and running. I tried this when my one stopped working but it never worked for me but I've heard of it working in the past so it might be worth giving that a shot first and seeing how you get on. I actually have a spare set up sitting in my garage but I'm in NZ unfortunately
