JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) I attempted my first mission this morning which was changing the light on the clock on the obc - Not as easy as i thought of just pushing up in that hole under the sunglass holder - 1/2hr later i finally got it out but the back of the obc was left behind in the hole but that was easy to get out, $4.80 for the bulb and now i can see my clock all the time, putting it back in took about 3 seconds wish it was easier to take it out than put it back in. Anyway clock 1 point up to me, to anybody else i guess this is nothing special but for me it was the first and successful mission i have carried out Edited September 29, 2008 by presso Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bezzal 1 Report post Posted September 29, 2008 When I repaired the climate control on mine, the hardest bit was getting the OBC out as well! Took me quite some time. The wiring loom to it was so short it didn't fully pop out. Well done! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doughnut 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 Don't wanna look like a hero or anything, but my latest "mission" was converting the engine in my e30, lol!! But seriously, with your valuable "changing of the light on the clock on the obc" knowledge you will be rebuilding gearboxes and engines in no time.

bravo 34 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 Don't lie Joseph. You just wanted to skite. Accessing those OBC lights is a bitch. I too remember my first projects on my first e30. Everything was new. I can remember taking a hour to figure out how to remove the instrument cluster. i think I'd be under 3 mins - 5mins with my eyes closed. Competition idea for next bsport meet???

hbmonkeyman 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 Hmm i think my first mission in my E30 was Installing a new Headunit and 4 speakers, replacing some interior panels and fitting a new clock When i first got it it had no clock, no stereo, no shocks on the left side it was missing a few interior trim panels and was covered in an Inch-thick layer of dirt... and it wasn't running lol. I think i did a pretty good job of it lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xescuy 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 I have done the exact same thing last week and had the same issues That OBC is tough to push trough but when done, whithout breaking anything, it feels so nice. I think with the expertise gained I'm now ready to tackle a whole engine rebuild Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
