If you really want to advance the miles, practice on the old one. You may end up with digits misaligned, then all who look will think you have tried to turn it back ? Could be you have dry joint or two in the solder, it may well be an easy fix...

I tried it advancing one for another vehicle with a drill once. Worked out it would take 36 hours straight to do it that way 😅 I'll probably put it in a box with the rest of my semi functional spares and let whomever inherits my estate worry...

Replacement cluster is all good. It's in decent condition too, bit upset it's only got 153k miles on it. Mines up to 225k (and the rest of the vehicle definitely reflects that) so I was looking forward to making 250k one day 😅 might see how easy...

I'm not sure you can put 12v through the Disco' circuit board without possible damage ? The later models are set up for 5Volts I believe. Check earths and connections for security and damage.

That's something I was wondering. I've used a test and polarity probe and it appears the signals and voltage are reaching the cluster so I have to assume it's the cluster that's gone awry. Ordered a used one so I'm hoping for a plug and play...

Took instrument cluster out. Cleaned the unit contacts with alcohol and cleaned the connectors with a needle file and some more alcohol. Doesn't seem to have helped, got the same issue. Is it possible to test the unit by feeding 12v to the...

I'll give that a go, I remember they are those old skool connectors that slide over the printed circuits so they could have got some scale on them. Might explain why some of the bits are working if on the other connector. Thanks 🙂

Morning - it starts and runs just fine, essentially everything seems to be functional except the dash lamps - if it didn't have the MOT due in a few weeks I'd happily drive it around as is for a while 😅

Morning - got a weird issue on my 93' D1 200TDI. Been sat for a month or so whilst I was replacing the t-case. All back in and went to start up - only getting the alternator charge lamp and low fuel orange lamp illuminating on ignition...
