Default XK8 Instrument Cluster Replacement

Hi

I have a 1997 140k US sold XK8 wich I imported back to Eourope a few years ago. One of the problems has been something that migth be a instrument cluster issue. Every now and then all the warning lights comes on and stays on and the car goes to safe mode. The ECU is repaired, all the ground wirings are checked and all fuses and the battery is changed. The question is, can I put in a Euro instrument cluster (km/h) to a car that originally has had a U.S instrument cluster (mls/h) and what years migth be compatiable. If anyone has had similar problems and solved them or simply has the knowledge, I would be greatful for a reply to this message. Sorry for earlyer posting this same thread to the wrong forum.

Welcome to the forum Eric,

As you have probably already seen, I moved your original question about the Instrument Pack to the Xk8/XKR section. Follow this link XK8 / XKR - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the XK8/XKR section for help, advice and information. The 'HOW TO' thread at the top there is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You may also like to visit the Europe Region section by following this link Europe - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to find other members in mainland Europe.

Enjoy the forum.

Graham
