Highline Instrument Cluster Wanted

[Peter260]

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

I'm unsure. I think 'scoubix', Nicolas Roughol, or maybe 'steve00136' would know.
For some reason I thought your car was Low-line with HK; don't know why !
Are you planning to mount the new LCD unit yourself, or have you found a competent chap in Holland to do it for you?

I actually don't know what the real difference is between low line and high line.
Mine was ordered as a demonstrator so thought it came with all the options.
As I have sunroof, HK, electric adjusted seats with memory etc. Seems to have the SE indication as well.
But I don't really know.

I am planning to do the display myself.
Since at that time I did not know about the Dutch guy doing updates,
I ordered LCD screens as I was informed there would be no more available.
(I actually bought two thinking it would be good to have a spare one).

Waiting for the parts to arrive from UK (in transit) and than will have to take the decision whether to do it myself.
Since I need to fix a few more things in the interior like mirror controls, steering wheel and possibly upgrading the stereo a long weekend would be good.

Was thinking I will always have the complete unit as a backup if totally mess up. That may not be true anymore.
I bought this cluster when factory stock was sold off on ebay. Bought it with lots of other stuff that I sadly sold when the car was gone.

Thanks

A Hi-Line system will have a screen like this (standard 4:3 MGR unit):

If it's Lo-line it will probably look more like this:

If it has a screen, but NOT like the one in the top picture, then it has already been replaced, and that will not tell you if your system is "Hi" or "Lo".

The database shows these as being the options spec, for #800 (no Hi-Line, TV tuner etc mentioned).

• High power rear speakers
• Pair Rec/Lumbar/Height Adj.-Electric
• Elect seat adj - driver memory
• 225 radial ply tyres
• Tyre Profile 45 alloy centre trim - mg logo
• 7.5 X 18 road wheels
• ZR tyre speed rating
• Power amplifier fitted
• Sunroof-Glass Tilt and Slide - Electric
• branded speakers hi-fi pack
• Sports Black Leather Seats
• Electric fold flat capability dr mirrors
• Gear lever surround IMF 3
• Pearl Black
• Sports PPH Black Full Ash Interior
• Pearlescent paint charge
• Red / Buff build label

... which indicates low-line, so your "spare" unit SHOULD be the right one anyway?

You might still like to consider having the LCD fix done by the German company just over the Dutch border, since I understand you need considerable skill to "DIY" ( which you may well have!). It is, I think, cheap, and carries a 5-year guarantee. A buyer for your LCD's when they arrive, should be easy to organise.
