Your video helped me a lot by exchanging the instr. Cluster in my 2009 3.6 TDV8. In my case the first two screws were T20 as you said. The other two fixing the cluster were T27. If anybody get problems after exchanging and reprogramming (using SDD) the instr. Cluster by an used one, just Re- programm the keys, also with SDD. No engineering code needed.
Superb video (as always) and worked a treat for me. Have an '09 V8 RRS and had a faulty cluster (would just die whilst driving / no display / no dials etc). 15 minutes to remove following this video, morning trip to cluster repair specialist & 10 minutes to refit and no further problems. Thanks again guys, keep up the good work. John
Just finished mine, easy job, you must use 2 small spoons to remove the needles, take your time with them. Also the two screws holding the facia are a pain, really need a flex drive.. if your in leeds and local to me I can help you with this. Wortley leeds LS12. I have The new Cream clocks now...cost £49.00 What a great video..this guy is 100%..
PowerfulUk commented on another video that the spoon method of removing the needles did not work so good. That they do not work the same after reinstalling them. Can you expand your comments regarding this? I need to replace the LCD screen on a L322 BMW. The screen is very pixelated and basically unreadable. Can you provide your best advice on removing and reinstalling the needles. Thanks for your help in advance.
I have an '09 LR3 that needs a new cluster. Did you have to reprogram anything when you installed the new cluster? Does the milage stay the same, or does it reset? Where did you purchase your new cluster?
You definitely have to reprogram it. My Rover dealer did this for me. He was hesitant but said he would give it a shot. Later he said it took a few tries but he was eventually successful. A side note...since then I have purchased a IID diagnostic tool and it looks like it has the functionality (along with many others) to reprogram the IC.
Hello, I have 07 RRS Supercharged and getting a code of no communication with instrument cluster and other error. Is it possible to just get a new oem cluster and swap it or do I need to get it reprogram from the dealer? Thank you!
Hi, I have taken off a dashboard off a Range Rover evoque. And we need some help to put it back, if possible can I have some directions on putting it back?
Thanks for video! Fantastic! I already have confidence to fix my RRS. Can I have a question? I have a RRS 2008 2.7 tdv6. Her gaugaes randomly while I am driving cut off. Everything get in dark. After some secs or minutes everything turn back. When this electric issue is "on", the alarm sound what is signing when I leave the key in the ignition is much less loud then normal. The gren light what is on when the headlights are on is lighting much weak. Even the dash computer's screen is dead, or the green backlight is on, but there is no caracters. I checked the fuses. All fuses ok. So please tell me is my electric issue can be because the connector what is at the back of gauges? Majbe I have to clear it up for better connection?
@@L663 Thank you very much for fast answer. Can you tell me please where is the earth? Itself the battery connection point on the body, or has the instruments cluster an own earth somewhere? Thanks
Did you paint your needles red on the bottom only I've just painted my full needle all over plus sides Painting just the bottom never looked very good...
Have changed my Instrument panel as in your video and it went well until I tried to start the vehicle now it won't turn over at all. What should I do now. Please help!
@@L663 it was a different cluster. All the lights come on but it just won't turn over at all. Have now put original back on. A mechanic told me they can't be replaced as each is unique to the vehicle so I am totally confused.
@@ingridmullis4832 The mileage of the car is stored in the LCM - lighting control module - not the speedo cluster like in the good old days.....but apparently the speedo and the LCM are coded together for some reason.
Hi, thank you for this instructional video! I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the cluster dials to a more larger font number type like what is on the land rover lr2 2011+... I have a 2008 sport supercarged and the speedometer fonts are tiny and I can barely read them, do you guys know if this is possible to swap guage dials from the 2011+ LR2's to the 06-09 sports? The clusters look identical from all I can see? If this isn't possible do you guys know where I can get custom dials? I saw someone put porsche styled ones in their 07 sport but couldn't find their supplier. Much appreciated!

This worked like a charm on my 2007 LR3. Thank you.

Hi - the mileage apparently is stored in the LCM ( Light Control Module ) so there is a good chance you will be ok swapping.

Sounds like a problem with an earth connection ... check your connections especially the earth !

@@balazspetho5070AgroGO hello have you figured it out
@@ljsproductions3006 Hi. It became good by itself. I have no idea what was the problem.
Are you saying I cannot change for a new instrument cluster. What is the risk of putting a use instrument cluster in an 2006 lr3.
is it easy to get to light bulbs at the back of the dash
Did you paint your needles red on the bottom only
I've just painted my full needle all over plus sides
Painting just the bottom never looked very good...
Hi - to be honest i never painted the needles - could it be that as i have the supercharged they were different ?
Have changed my Instrument panel as in your video and it went well until I tried to start the vehicle now it won't turn over at all. What should I do now. Please help!

Hi there is a supplier called "Lockwood dials" in the UK that make customer facsia for the speedo. If there is demand for this we can get some made.
After changing it didn't start.
