Matt,
I received my dash yesterday so thanks for that. It's a nicely designed bit of kit for sure! Unfortunately the nice build quality and design
would make it awkward to modify to accommodate extra lights as discussed previously.
On the 4 light clusters, I would be very interested in swapping my existing 3 light clusters for a pair of 4 light clusters if that was possible. I
would accept some extra cost for this too as long as it wasn't too steep.
Ideally, to comply with SVA requirements for a car we would need:
1. Left Indicator tell-tale
2. Right Indicator tell-tale
3. Hazard warning light (not essential for me as I have a Sierra column and it has a light/button combined)
4. Oil Pressure Warning Light (not ess. for SVA)
5. Headlight Main Beam light
6. Fog light tell-tale
7. Alternator Charge light
8. Brake Fluid Level / Handbrake light
Obviously 1-5 are already present on the 3853 but 6, 7 and 8 are missing and I believe all of these are necessary for SVA requirements. I don't
have the SVA manual to hand to check but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Let us know what you can arrange.
Thanks,
Craig.

An alternator charge light isnt an SVA requirment, but its handy.
You dont actually need a Hazard warning light either, assuming the indicator tell talle lights when the hazards are on.
Now you know why I stuck with a basic model and seperate bright6 module  To be honest I didnt know of the complications of the higher models, and I
already had a bright6. And its the way I would recommend for others to go. Which i think I did mention earlier in the thread....

David,
Yes I know what you are saying but I would prefer to have everything together if possible in one unit which is why I went for the 3853. Regarding the
alternator charge light, I interpreted your earlier posting, where you said it was required, to mean that it was required for SVA. Sorry for the
confusion.
On another subject, is anyone planning to mount their dash on the steering wheel itself? I'm not sure if the cabling would be a problem when the
wheel turns or not and I guess there would be a bunch of SVA complications but I thought I'd ask anyway. I'll probably end up mounting
mine just behind and above the steering wheel in the usual place.
Cheers,
Craig.

I'm a bit disappointed. The original photo showed the 4 light clusters and that what I thought I had bought.
Now they are available, I am left in no-mans land

You're with me though, so not all bad
Wonder if Acewell would sort this out themselves directly seeing as it is their website which misinforms. Its only a 50p PCB and a 50p bit of plastic
after all.

i was a bit gutted to find out they have just started one with a temp gauge , as i did ask them when i was doing the group buy. They said they where
working on one , did not know it would be out this soon.

Yes I'm a bit disappointed about this because I too would have taken one with a temp gauge and 8 lights and been happy to pay a bit more as
well. I've not started to fit my dash as yet so it is still in the packaging and in perfect condition. What's the chances of an exchange?
Not great I don't suppose...
Above is not directed at you Matt, just sod's law I guess...ho hum!

You wanna tell him that's price fixing and not allowed under trading laws - RRP's are exactly what they say - 'Recommended Retail

The manufacturer is allowed to tell him what his published price is, or what it has to be "at least", (which I believe is what he was
referring to, the price on his website), what he can't do is tell him the price to sell at.

I think I'm going to just get a Bright 6 module for my warning lights so if anyone wants to buy my warning light cluster to upgrade their
AceWell dash then let me know and make me an offer. I'll advertise it properly on the For Sale section in the next few days. It's
completely unused.
Cheers,
Craig.

Assuming you are referring to my Acewell warning light cluster, it has 6 lights with the bottom two positions blanked off with blue lenses but with no
bulbs fitted. Off the top of my head the lights fitted are:
Two indicator lights
Oil pressure light
Neutral light
Hazard warning light
Main beam warning light
Cheers,
Craig.
