so, dash board out, screen/faceplate off, and a deft application of some thin oil had the reset button working and numbers spinning back to zero! hurrah!
I put that all back together and thought i'd retrim the knee bolster as the edge aroung the ignition switch was suffering wear! i found some black vinyl, and also a big enough bit of leather.... the leather was a bit stiff, but ultimately more hard wearing, so an evening of pulling/stretching/cajoling the leather to the shape of the bolster had things looking a bit neater....

that's another bit leathered!.... ok there's a little gathering at the side, but 2mm thick stiff leather will do that! i might order some softer stuff.... but if i do that,there's a glove box lid aching to be leathered too!!
i just wish the showers would stop, i've 2 cars to prep for the tunerfest supercar siege!!!!
