Default Instrument cluster repairers?

Can anyone recommend someone who could repair an AU cluster with a faulty oil pressure gauge?

Would probably be cheaper to buy one from a wreckers than the cost of labour these days.

And if you can't ... speak to auMatt from the forums ... he is located in Victoria.
Although he does alot of B-series cluster work .... he does know the ins and outs though.

If the AU's are like the EF/EL clusters, the upper unit is the same as the lower - oil/fuel, volts/temp.
And the cluster board has a small Eprom that has the km's that can be swapped. It is small, so magnification is needed while soldering.

I'd plug in another cluster first to make sure your one is faulty. Most likely isn't.
