I can read it easier :-D Digital is fine when things are constant, analogue is much better for showing fluctuations when all you get is a blur with digital.

gps Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 this morning i went to start the scammell and smoke came out from the starter switch pannel followed by a fizzing sound . I hit the isolater switch and waited for the smoke to clear before returning to the cab. On doing so after a bit of looking I found that water had got into the switch board and it was all corroded. On further inspection many of the switches were not serviceable resulting in a total rewire of the dash with more modern switches. All seems to be working a treat so far and I now even have dash illuminations :yay:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
