Your laughing then, go for any colour you like - even the disco ones!! Lol Always glad to help, I've pm'd you some item numbers, this guys stuff is quality, I found out the hard way that there is a big difference in quality on eBay!!

The only brake cleaner I am aware of and use comes in aerosol tins and is purchased from the local pound shop! Lol

Ooh get you!! How is the Rev counter lit?? Have a look first, if it's like the clock then best go for green led's...... as easy as it is to strip the clock and solder new ones on, the clock is only £25 to replace and not £100's lol

I used brake cleaner on mine and the seals did swell, but only because I used half a can!! The seals pushed back in though so it's not a problem. I replaced the injector harness and it's stopped. Planning on changing it every 2 years as a serviceable item so it doesn't happen again.

The clock on a Td5 has 4 small led's on the printed circuit board within the clock. It is possible to strip the clock and replace with coloured, I did mine today. They are soldered onto the circuit board so you have to unsolder the originals and solder on the new. It's fiddly but not difficult...
