156 - dashboard display and wing mirror

Hi Everyone. Just found this site by accident and it's brilliant . Only thing is - theres too many threads to try and find an answer to my questions, so I thought I'd post my own.

First - how do I get the wing mirror glass out of a nearside mirror (someone smashed mine and I have a second hand replacement courtesy of ebay, but have the whole wing mirror!)

Secondly - the whole dash lights flash on and off when the lights are on; the speedo whizzes round uncontrolably; the digital mileage doesn't show numbers properly (but on occasions I get some proper numbers, and it is obviously still counting); and the fuel guage sometimes goes to zero even though the tank is full. Oh and the little screen in the middle goes back to 1 Jan and sometimes says take to dealer, and sometimes doesn't.

Can anyone help?

Cheers!
Susie

Woah! A whole host of issues!

Glass for mirror - perhaps here.

All your electrical issues need to be diagnosed and downloaded from the ECU. Take it to a good indy or a dealer. Where you based

My 'sender' on my old 156 facelift was replaced as it showed randoms on the tank levels.



Welcome to AO btw and HTH....

Hi everyone! - I'm sorry, I realised as soon as I'd posted it that it should have been in the technical bit and I should have just said HELLLOOOOO!!!!!

Wherever you posted Suzie, you're most welcome here. Hope you'll find plenty of sound advice on the 156 Technical forum, and much amusement and information elsewhere.
