I've noticed that not all the marks ont he rev counter dial are illuminated red, only the ones past approx 6000rpm seem to be illuminated. Is this normal? Shouldn't all ths marks be lit up red?

MINIkt · Aug 14th, 2007, 04:30 PM

Don't worry this is completely normal .. you can request for the additional lights to be illuminated by your local MINI stealer .. but only recommended for VERY cautious drivers!!!

Root Ginger · Aug 14th, 2007, 05:22 PM

The lights are lit up to mark the MINI One redline. They are all lit on the One D as the diesel redline is lower. So perfectly normal.

Cooper_si · Aug 14th, 2007, 07:31 PM

Yes Bob totally normal for the ONE, Cooper ,Cooper S.

Root, MINI ONE D has a different speedo that redlines upto 7000 rpm (unlike 8000 rpm on others) but yes they are lit all the way on the MINI ONE D.

The early ones don't. They have the same "rev counter".

Surely those lights only have the capabilites to go up to 5500 revs. That wee diesel cant rev that high!!!

No it's a valid question mate, please be fair to other users.

While we're on the topic of illuminating rev counter is it possible to change the colour, I've always rather fancied a blue rev counter/speedo?

supa-dupa-cooper · Aug 15th, 2007, 04:43 PM

I remember with my old ONE...

I was pulling away from a roundabout, or so i thought, i hadnt put it in gear

so it revved really high

Lol, then i paniked as i swore 'those red lines never lit up that far before'

Was it Blue? I'm also considering Green or Red (not Red for rev counter otherwise I'll be consistantly red-lining

)

What colour did he/she do it in?!

David King · Aug 15th, 2007, 05:13 PM

It wasnt on a feature car, it was on the Question and answer page, they just show examples of different colours.

I happened to look at mine when I was driving a minute ago and the smaller division of lines does indeed begin, at 5500 revs

On the topic of Rev Counter Illuminations... I saw this in another M2 thread and thought it was absolutely awesome!

Enjoy!

All the best,
