Think they normally go for £200, maybe a tad more. I managed to find a set that will work on my car on eBay for £155!

Called the stealers last week about one of these. Quoted me £297 inc. VAT plus a surcharge of £120 if you dont swap your cluster. If you call them and give them your chasis number they can tell you what part number you require. If it has an X in there at the end it means its an exchange unit, if you have it installed at the dealers they will take your old unit. Cant remember exactly what he said though  :confused:

didn't know the dealers could swap them out for you.
I missed out on one on ebay a few weeks ago that went for £139, bargain!

I think the dealer said they would only swap the clusters if they were like for like, midline to midline or highline to highline. So, you would have to stump up the cost + surcharge and fit yourself and sell your old cluster on. Doesnt seem to expensive if you seell your old unit on I spose  :chicken:

Highline -

You can scan you car and get the part number from the scan part number will be under Address 17: Instruments

Cost of Highline is between £200-£250 retrofitted. If you can source a HL which is for your car you can save a bit on the cost.

Phil Miller can source some HL clusters and can code, 970, 971 and 972 and some 973s

Kalu can also source HL Clusters and can code the 974s

I think ML clusters end 96* and HL end 97* basically when you know your midline cluster code change the 96* to a 97* to know what to look out for.

RNS Version C -

£500 max and you can retrofit it yourself  :happy2:

 Paid 130 for mine, fitted and coded myself.


However I do have another set as well, but the coding is pretty difficult to do as its a 974 cluster. Kalu on here can code it to your car. PM me if your interested in it.
