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 the car goes to safe mode. The ECU is repaired, all the ground wirings are checked and all fuses are 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 comatiable. If anyone has had similar problems and solved them or simply has the knowledge I would be greatful for a reply to this message.

 

Welcome to the forum Eka65,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help section to the XK8/XKR section. Members here with the same model will be able to advise on the Instrument Pack.

When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST section and post some information about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see. In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice on posting to the forum.

The Instrument Pack is a programmable module. You can't just switch an IP from one vehicle to another. It has to be reprogrammed by the dealer or an independent with dealer level diagnostics.
