    Default Highline Instrument Cluster Wanted

    Any highline instrument cluster (with trip computer)
    wanted (ZT or 75, petrol or diesel, auto or manual, mph or kph) but with the built in parking buzzer as per later models.
    Preferably ZT, petrol, mph and manual with a good lcd screen.
    Ideally for the V8 part no YAC003940LNF if any about.
    Many thanks
    Steve

    Don't forget to say MPH, otherwise you could end up with a LHD/KPH one. if you do, and its a real KPH V8 one, I'll have it!
    I know you can dis-assemble to change the dials and so on, but not ideal I imagine.

    Unless I'm mistaken, YAC003940LNF which you mention is for the earlier High line MPH cars, and YAC003960LNF for the earlier Low line MPH?
    (up to and including #218). Could be wrong, of course!

    For anyone interested, this is a list I have for the different late V8 types:

    YAC005090LNF - MPH - High line 2004- V8
    YAC005110LNF - MPH - Low line 2004- V8
    YAC005100LNF - KMH - High line 2004- V8
    YAC005120LNF - KMH - Low line 2004- V8

    YAC004290LNF - MPH - High line Automatic V8
    YAC004310LNF - MPH - Low Line Automatic V8
    YAC004300LNF - KMH - High line Automatic V8
    YAC004320LNF - KMH - Low Line Automatic V8

    This tallies with Nich's posting in Index>INSTRUMENTS>Part Numbers>Instrument Cluster Part Numbers

    Thanks David. I've updated my post. Yes ideally I am after the early pre 2004 (for my #038) cluster.
    Unless I can get the exact cluster any highline (inc non V8) can be used by transplanting my eprom, dials, backlights etc - if my information is correct.
    Thanks

    OK now I get it. So that is probably an early one, in the V8 sense (in any case 260 MK1, so < 17/02/2004), but late in the general ZT/R75 FWD sense to get the built-in buzzer and so on. I am unclear as to why a Mk2 V8 Hi-line is sufficiently different to your Mk1 #038 to be less than your ideal though.

    Hi David I think the mk1 v8s like mine have white backlights later think blue. Other than that not sure ..... must be a reason to have different part nos mk1 to mk2.
    I'd be happy to find a mk2 ... just have to swop eprom and backlights.

    Oddly enough the only new V8 ones with trip that XPart or Rimmer's appear to have available any more is YAC004300LNF, coincidentally the very one I would need (LHD, KPH, Rover), if mine ever failed. At £618 (sale price) or £996 respectively, I think I will pass on buying it for my "just-in-case" stock shelf! XPart wrongly list it as MPH (photo confirms KPH), which is probably why they haven't managed to sell it for one of the 32 cars made that would need it.

    ... so good to know that with a "donor" new or used unit of a different type, and a soldering iron, the correct configuration can be created.

    Thanks to you, 'scoubix' and 'X13#18' for investigating and clarifying that.

    For some reason I have;

    YAC001111N and
    YAC003850

    here. I cannot work out why I have them unless I was collecting for spares a few years ago and 'took a punt.'

    New or used, Nich? In any event I think that YAC001111N is a non-trip one, but the 3850 is probably a good candidate as a donor unit for a 260, being a late MPH trip unit ... I think!

    Both brand new David. I think I opened them up to see if I could swap the LCD screen but once opened decided against it and re-assembled.

    I have a "brand new"or more like NOS 01 YAC 005120 LNF. So a Low line 2004 -
    Does that mean it will not work in my car ?

    It appears to have all the displays and I bought it plus 15 years ago from the factory stock.
    Thinking one day a spare could be useful but it never crossed my mind that it would not fit.
    (I hope the meters etc are still all the same).

    It is for sure KMH and MG. RPM left and KMH right.
    Waiting for an LCD to arrive so I fix my current display.

    Thanks, Peter
