Hi guys, I recently bought myself a really nice toy, 2011 5.0 XK.
Excited with my new toy, was trying to sort all the little things to make it perfect and in a moment of idiocy, I've broke it. Properly.
I removed the instrument cluster trying to see if I could get rid of the flashing AFS light and cure a little rattle at the same time. When I reconnected it, the cluster is blank and the car won't even try to start. Head unit, etc powers up but the instrument cluster is blank and the start button does nothing.
From what I can figure and a basic scan tool, theres an error code about having lost communication with the cluster and it needs recoding to the car.
So far, so stupid me - I get it, trying to bodge a fix and !Removed! things up more.
But, I'm really stuck and need all the help I can muster from the community, because here's the twist...
I work abroad. In Hong Kong. Which is where the car is.
I've been in touch with the local main dealer who are not interesting in coming out to look at it - I tried having it recovered to them but the guy couldn't get his truck out the car park with the car on it.
I can't find any local specialists, so right now I have a big Spectrum blue paperweight.
I am open to absolutely anything now, including if I have to, putting someone on a plane to come out here and fix it. I just need to find someone on this Earth who knows what needs doing.
So here I am, new to you, fingers crossed asking for any help at all.
