so you think it could be the needle sticking then, the car sounds like its idleing fine but the rev counter is siting around 1500 rpm but when i turn the engine off it goes back down |

its broke, could ber many things but I'd say a gauge fault. Either stickign or if its not the face stickign then the needles arcing otu or something. |

Yup chris is right! I had that with my other 1.4 19 in which I had put a 1.7 dash and fitted white dials after that the dial had moved a 1 milimeter down and the needle run againt the dial resulting in not getting high enough and knackering the gauge eventually. Had to get another gauge from scrappy  |
