When you put a new cluster in and code in the winnumber,its starts communicate with the LCM and who send over the stored milage to cluster. if you change fore a new LCM the cluster send over the right milage to LCM. This communication is only possible if both is coded with the same winnumber otherwise the system gets in modulationmode and you get a extra red dot in the milagecounter.

that would be handy come trade-in time  but no, it still shows the original mileage of 63,000

Glad it's all sorted.

Bet you won't be doing that again.

I take it that the mileage is still recorded correctly and that a new cluster doesn't give the car a mileage of 0?

Cars finally back in full working order and I'm 1616.40 lighter after the new cluster was fitted

As the late great Tony Hancock once said... "let the shipwrecks of others be your sea marks"

Thanks for helping me out with suggestions guys

One problem might be the rareness of that particular cluster.. If you had a perfect donor vehicle then it should be definitely possible...

indeed, it's cos it's an alpina specific part, if it was a bmw part then it would be half that price, which is still pricey for what it is!

well my worst fears were confirmed, cluster needs replacing...

1616.32 including fitting...  going to take a week to get the cluster from germany so i've given the go-ahead; like removing a plaster its better to rip it straight off and get it over with quickly so you don't think about it too much 

some birthday present that eh, you live and learn
