it seems as if the lights behind the speedo is either dead or its weak, basically theres a spot between 20-60km/h that is dimmer than the rest of the display. Is there anywhere i can take it to to have somebody look at it and sort it out? would then want to change all the bulbs then while its open to a different colour.
will try and get a picture uploaded to help explain better.
*edit* this is on the Corsa C UTE

Just take a look at the gauges and start taking panel off. You will be able to get in easily and take the gauges out to get to the bulbs. Probably take you an hour from start to finish assuming you already have a bulb.
Labour charges are wack @R280 an hour or part thereof to change bulbs. Once the gauges are out take out the bulbs you wanna change and go to Midas. The gauges probably use the same LED type bulb that the park lights use.

I know you are not joking about the R150, GM wanted me to pay that aswell.
Go to more scrap yards, I got one for R11
