Hi

I tried yesterday to replace the LCD-strip on my speedo cluster on my 2002 4.4i. Got everything together and tried it in the car and nothing worked. So I took it back inside to try and find out what was wrong. By accident I managed to pull the speedoneedle out, with part of the spring. So that needs to be replaced. Have anyone here done this job?

I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve heard- once that happens you are in a world of hurt! Hopefully someone will be along to tell me im wrong 2007 TDV8 Vogue SE

A few folk in the E39 world have used http://www.clusterrepairsuk.co.uk to repair the fault you've created (no affiliation and I've never personally used them)

The E39/E38/E53 cluster design was used on the early L322 (02-05) so parts are readily available.

Have now managed to fix the LCD-strip completly, and separet the needle from the old pin. have ordered new steppermotor, so will give it a try and update when I am further in this idiotic quest
