UrS4 list and bouncy speedo

[John Cody Forbes]

Well there is the Audifans S-car-list which you will find on the same page you used to subscribe to this one. There's also a big urS following at Audiworld. Once on our S-list ask the same question, those guys have many many trusted sources. Oh, s-cars.org is one too.

Interestingly this one has a better functioning Autocheck, but non illuminating digi-time-clock, and the whilst the odo works the speedo's normal mode is bouncy. I say that as very occaisionally it works right, and this coincides with the cruise working normally.

According to Huw's site one of the pins on the speedo is a cruise output, so I wondered if a poor/dirty contact here might cause a reflection of the cruise output to shunt back into the speedo coils and bounce it. BTW my needle bounce has a freq of around 1Hz.

I think I should get a presentable result, but am open to advice on what glue is best to use, and also what methods folks have of removing it with less brute leverage? (as If I ever intend doing this job again!)
