E28 Master of diguises 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Hi there myself and my partner are new to this forum site We've just acquired a 1982 BMW 520i E28, we're both very happy, but there are a few minor things that we need to do to get looking good ie we need to get and install a brand new instrument cluster as i diagnosed that the instrument's weren't doing there job. that means that i don't have a speedometer,the fuel gauge is inaccurate,the warning lights play stupid games and the needles for the water temp are also inaccurate. these are the things that are stopping me from getting a WOF so if there is anyone out with the knowledge please pm me. the first thing we done to it was put on a set of 16" BMW factory rims for a later model E34 wrapped in 205/55R16 tyre's. so we're one thing at a time but i'll update once i do other things to our car i have posted two photo's below the first photo is when we brought it and the second one is when we purchased the rims and had them fitted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cale 36 Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Welcome, clean e28 you have yourself there. Congrats. Maybe sounds like the SI Board batteries in your instr. cluster are dying, and playing games with the gauges. May be cheaper than replacing the whole cluster. Not sure how to replace these or even if that is the problem. Someone will definitely know more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
