I got two sets of those retro reproductions side ones, if you need them I have a spare set, which I got 'just in case' (at the time it was 'just in case I ended up with another saloon....but I didn't..)

Having to sort a few things round the dash first as the Fuel gauge doesn't move even after putting £50 of super unleaded in it, as it's not had very much in it since 2003 I'm assuming the sender is stuck though.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 20th November 2022, 14:08.1958 Ford Consul Convertible.

Checked the fuel gauge display with my fast check and it seems the dash has possibly a fault on the fuel readings, I do have another but that's in pieces so atm I will have to live with it until I can put together my spare. That also had a fault in it so will have to do some thinkingLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 21st November 2022, 11:20.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

Now taxed and being used, I've also set the dash to display everything and the fuel gauge lights up with all segments so I have to believe its the sender.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

While searching for a water pipe for a friend I found the original dash that I though was the one partially stripped, that was an unexpected result.
As the mileometer still wasn't working correctly I stripped down again this dash that had developed a fault when I last stripped it down a few years ago now, re-cleaned and checked all connections. Took out what I think is a faulty mileage part on the dash that I put in the car when the original wouldn't work properly and it sprang into life and the mileometer is now working correctly after taking it up the road for 3 miles. This dash has an extra 30k miles on it as mileage is stored in the memory which I had forgotten about but isn't a problem as my MOT says mileage not displayed.
The dash still says only two or three segments of fuel but it does now go up to the top of the orange segments when turning the ignition on then goes back down so its getting there slowly.Last edited by Jeff Turbo; 22nd November 2022, 10:03.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

That sorted, don't want to do that again, these are replacements from a company who re-made them but they don't fit as well as the originals
After it set I took it up the road and it died on me after 5 miles on the way home. Luckily I managed to push it home with a neighbours help.
Fuel issue as it fires up then dies so I have to assume its one of the relays. Will find a replacement in my spares over next week as i'm pissed off with the car atmLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 3rd December 2022, 13:16.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

Battery was a bit low after pushing it and using the starter to go up hill but the fuel relays found today, fitted and............... nothing, still no fuel so will have to get back under the car friday and check all using my Fast check before anything else after re-charging the battery
Buggar and it's cold nowLast edited by Jeff Turbo; 9th December 2022, 12:14.1958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car

On it today as I don't have any work. Plugged the fast check in and all's as it should be. Tested the main relay and that's clicking, checked the fuel relay and nothing, swopped over the relays and still the same. Removed the covers on the fuel pump and connected to a battery and the pump has seized, buggar so now bought another and will wait for that to arrive, possibly after christmas due to the postal strikes and the time of year. This it the correct pump incase anyone wants in the future https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1104898078321958 Ford Consul Convertible. I love this car
