Instrument cluster

[mrpopey]

Has anyone on here had to replace thier instrument cluster on a 2.0d 2003/04 saloon ?

 

I've been having problems with the PATS on my car and the instrument cluster was suspected so it was sent off for testing/repair. It was found to be faulty probably due to power surge damaging the processor and was not repairable.

 

Can i source a secondhand one from an identical car and fit that and will it need coding to the car ?

 

Or is it a brand new one from Jaguar at Jaguar prices ?

Hi jimmy

I recently cahanged my instruments cluster on my s type, it was sorced from a second hand source on eBay, it did need re coding, the down side is it will automatacaly go to the higest millege of the two units, and it canbe expensive to have it adjusted, good look

I did speak to Simon a couple of weeks ago before i sent the cluster off to be tested and he said he'd had a problem doing that once before and there again others have said yes it can be done no problem.

 

The biggest problem i have at the moment is because i cant start the car i cant get it to anyone to look at. The only option really at the moment is a secondhand one and then get it coded to the car if it can be done.

 

Nobody around here has any Jag diagnostics equipment other than the mobile chap and he only does this area on a Friday.
