No, the auto sparky was unable to adapt the dash in the first instance and disabled the immo so the car could still be used.
The reason the dash would not adapt was due to the 'mode' (mode 6-ie previously adapted) and the lock timers.
The most confusing part was the fact that I was unaware of the lockout with the replacement dash in and it was only a hunch that made me check the old cluster and leave the timers to clear.
Got there in the end though.
As far as mileage correction, as the company that virginised the cluster had also reset the mileage to 0, I was able to enter the correct mileage using VAG-COM (VCDS).
Hope that others can benefit from my mistakes though and the subsequent steep learning curve!!!!
