Upgrade Dash

[mycerbera]

How easy (and how much) is it to upgrade the 180MPH speedo for the later 210MPH speedo?
Also noticed the newer cerbera's have black graphics on the fan/fog knobs, easy to swap?

mycerb –

Not being funny but concentrate all your efforts and money on getting the heart of the car correct before worrying yourself about what the speedo is calibrated to!

If the engine is knacked then you ain't gonna be doin' a tenth of whatever it says

One thing at a time – there's no rush is there?

[mycerbera]

That's a bit harsh!
From what most people have been saying, it sounds like It's not going to be major anyway!!

[gazzab]

Thats all down to opinions though - without actually taking the engine apart you dont know what is wrong. You are hoping that it is nothing. Hopefully it will be fixed with redex but what if it isnt.
If you are running a cerbera on a shoe string budget you need to save you pennies for some likely big bills round the corner rather than funky add ons. It will cost a small fortune to run - I guarantee it.

Not harsh at all mate – just common sense

So does anyone know then or what?!

Easy, mine broke and dealer went bust replaced it myself, there are two butterfly screws under each side of the binnacle, then just pull the white connector off and undo two (i think) small bots on long screws.

Main reason I want to upgrade is that:
1)Sometimes when accelerating the revs rise, but then on the counter drop away, then back up again, even though the engine revs are just rising!
2)The temp gauge is a bit temperamental, it stays at nothing, put when engines about 80 degrees it shots straight to 80 and then carries on working ok!

[MikeyT]

Yeah, but it's possible the causes are not within the instruments themselves ...

My temperature guage did EXACTLY the same thing for about 4 months and then just stopped.....been fine since then....

The rest of the car.....now that's a longer story

yeh, but what has that got to do with fitting a 210mph speedo or am I missing something?????

i confess to being an self proclaimed idiotic driver, but at 160mph in my cerb with the bonnet lifting and wipers about 4" off the screen I said enough is enough! Therefore be very suprised if you really need an 210mph speedo anyhow...

Indicated 175 en-route to a Beaujolais release party last Nov -

Both bonnet catches broke and the bonnet lifted....that concentrated the mind

Can still hear my passenger screaming.....funny afterwards - "slightly" stressful at the time....

[octane junkie]

No, officer, your radar can't be reading right - I know I wasn't doing 180 'cos the bonnet wasn't flapping...."

[flasher]

Nice to have benno back isn't it. In full flow slagging cerbs and telling everyone how wonderfull his Porsche is

I had an indicted 180 on my cerb last year, yeah the wipers were wobbling a bit. If you were scared by your wipers moving benno, you should get yourself a nice sensible car that doesn't go fast...... oh sorry you've already got one...A PORSCHE!!!

How's the crunching gearbox benno????........
