Hi, Could sumone help me out with a ticking/vibrating sound at the front drivers side sumwhere near the behind of the dials. It only does it when pulling away at low revs or being in a low gear at the wrong speed? many thanks! (dun search but cant find anything useful!)

Also, could someone Scan at Original Size (100%) Perfect Quality. a Set of Lockwood Dials (Any Colour) i need all 4 pieces, for a basic map for creating my own dials!

I have the same problem. It sounds like it comes from behind the dails / in the footwell. I found out is was the water pump. It's really hard to find where the sound is coming from in the engine bay because of the engine noise.

I'd check your water pump first. They don't cost that much either!!
