Hey Guys. I have recently purchased a xr instrument cluster for my EL. Does anyone know where i can have the odometer re-set to the actual mileage???
The one i purchased has lower mileage, but my service book says otherwise and as i will selling the vehicle soon i think it may look dodgey. (not think, it does) but im a fairly honest person, so. |

Why did you buy a new cluster if you are selling the car soon?

VDO are the people to contact if you want the kms reset though - you'll most likely have to send it to them along with proof of your cars actual mileage. Ford used to be able to do it on their WDS however i dont think they're allowed to now.

Ford Dealers can usually re-set speedos, ring and ask them. Providing it is electronic.

To swap the odometer readings from one cluster to another is easy...
There is a good explanation of it HERE on Fordmods.com Basically you have to swap over one small EEPROM, simple as that...as long as you are half decent with a soldering iron...and it cant be an el cheapo Dick Smith one for this job though!

Yep, a good soldering iron and a steady hand is another method. You only get one shot at it though!
