Do you have to get a diesel 626 speedo to have a glowplug light or do petrol ones have the right window but no bulb or something?

just a case of swapping the 626 speedo for the bongo one 4 screws on the back of the housing and putting the complete bongo housing back in

easy peasy lemon squeezy

Ahh so you only change the actual speedo, not the whole instrument panel?

I have now also changed mine for a 626. Adjusted it back to the mileage done on my bongo. Although I had to buy the whole instrument panel from the scrapyard, there are different indicator lights and an extra connector used when I removed it from the original car, so I changed the speedo only. It seems to be working ok, but I still haven't checked its accuracy with my satnav.

Whilst it was all out I also fitted a mason alarm.

i did wonder what would happen if i did put the full instrument cluster from the 626 in

other than the hazard lights working for a few seconds then it blew lots of fuses

so DON`T DO IT

Don't worry you can always repair it with a washing up liquid bottle and some sticky backed plastic.
