Rev counter problems

The mpg screen can be replaced with a replacement from gearworks.de. I'd be sticking with the VDO. I do have a spare V6 cluster. Shows 207k on it if it's any use

Yes definitely mate mines done 213k I'll pm you it's worth a try

Suspect an earthing/power supply issue, if everything is affected, there is one bolt that makes an electrical connection on the back of the instruments, be worth checking this is clean? As well as a visual check of course.

I could try the voltage regulator off my original cluster do you think

[Bowie69]

Certainly an option, yes.

Certainly an option, yes.

I'll try this tonight mate

this didnt work it still did the same , ive been told if it says un4 on the front where the steering clips go in it will be different to the vdo type one , this un4 one ive got still says vdo on the back ive seen now and the guy i bought it off says its 100% from a v6 , but its from a 2,8 not a 2,6 , cant see it making much difference

yesterday i stripped the old original vdo unit down and found the cog had broken that clicks the mileage around but its a 20 tooth green cog which is a strange one
