Second and fourth pics would suggest that Petrol and Diesel models have different clusters :-\

Erm... yes, sorry you never asked if Diseasel and Petrol are different. I could have told you straight away, yes they are. If only for the extra little curly symbol for the glowplugs. But also they have a different redline for the revs. Plus you may even find as Diesels never had TC, there's no TC warniing light, too.

FL and PFLs have different coloured dials, too. Black to pale grey  :y

Any preface lift petrol cluster should be fine... ideally a saloon one, as the estate fuel gauge will over read if fitted to a saloon as the tank is a smidgen smaller on the saloon :-\

No that's fine  :y same year as (one of) mine  :D

You may even find the 'speedo bit' is the same across several engine sizes, just needs the dial swapping with yours, that kind of thing. As most on here are either a V6 or the BMW TD engine, if you can confirm that the part you're after is the same as/can come off either of them, you stand a much better chance of getting one.  :)

edit: as Mr Taxi Al above states, just the estates are the ones to watch - also not a diesel.

I was hoping to source just the membrane rather than the whole unit. It appears to be just clipped in place.

Might try a repair first, as it can't be any worse than it is now!

Any ideas where the best place is to try for a replacement one?

Thanks

Just to add, Diesel ones only go up to 140 Mph as well (well the DTi ones do at least)

Good point. Do the 2.0s read to 150, and the V6s read to 160, or something like? (well the V6 definitely read to 160mph, anyway)
