Hey folks,

I'm likely going to replace my instrument cluster soon, and while reviewing the threads on this topic, I can across a discussion of a useful sticker in the trunk with the part number and software version number of the original module.

So I went out and pulled the trunk floor cover in my 2003 XKR, but couldn't find evidence of anything like that under the carpets anywhere around the spare well.

Any other places I can look for something like that?

 

Don't think the VCATS was needed anymore, you should be able to just give your VIN when you order it.

The cluster is part of immo I think and if so will need programming. A new one will likely be a scary price but if you go used check someone can definitely do the programming if required.

You may be able to R&R your current one.

 

There was a VCATS label in my 2000 XJ8:



I don't recall one in either my 2001 or 2005 XK8's.

OK, so that was likey an earlier model feature.

I'm not ready to pull the cluster yet, so I was hoping for an easy way to get the numbers. Just doing my homework.

Thanks!

 

Just curious.... anything wrong with the one currently fitted to the vehicle?

 

The processor is fried. Gauges work, but the LCD is dead.

 

Can probably fix it by some careful parts swapping - ASI might do it.

 

www.autoecu.com? They don't indicate work on any Jag instrument clusters. Anyone have experience with them?

I did try www.modulemaster.com, who forum members have had good experiences with:

"Thank you for the interest in our rebuilding services. Unfortunately we have a literally stack of these clusters in storage that are dead. When we tried fixing the problems with this cluster we found that most if not all the problems are found to be a faulty processor. We are unable to fix the problems with these clusters. I'm sorry we do not have a fix for you."
