Year of Manufacture *: 2003 ( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: 1.6 petrol
Hi all,
The dials on this one keep dropping to zero and then coming back up again. ClusterrepairsUK have supposedly fixed this twice('common problem mate') but it's still the same. They've now given me a so-called refund (still arguing)and I'm back to square one. This is a warranty job from a car we sold so don't really want to cough up the 300 quid for a new one if I can help it. So, when I spoke to the dealer they told me there's a 2 letter code on the panel, but I can't see one. A very helpful guy on eBay reckoned mine would be a JK and that his BX panel won't work. A 'vauxhall spares specialist' says 'all the petrol ones are the same'.
When I finally bit the bullet and ordered the cluster from dealer, they tell me an exchange unit is available for about £110. Wish I knew that a month ago. They took some part numbers from the old cluster and phoned Vauxhall for the correct replacement.
Got the mileage coded in by dealer for another £41 and it's gone at last.
