So guys, not fixed but have found the problem.

When I bought the car the clocks were pixelated so couldn’t read the display... I damaged the temperature gauge taking the thing apart tying to fit a new display.
I bought a second hand one and this is causing the problem.(it is the right part)
I’ve removed it and fitted the old one and no errors.

Weird that the new clocks cause abs, steering angle sensor and air suspension faults!!!

Anyway, what do I do now?
The clocks are 100% causing my problems.
One side note, my car has 170k and the new clocks have 110k, and read 110k when fitted. I thought the computer would tell the clocks that the car has 170k.
Anyway, advice on what to do now?... do the clocks need programming to the car?
Thanks

I would say get your old clocks repaired by somebody like cartronix, they are in business because people damaged their clocks trying to take them apart and fit a cheap cable...
The clocks are linked in with the other systems including the Lighting module to stop theft and fraud, Saint knows more about that than me, not theft or fraud, the clocks

Is it possible to code these clocks to my car, if so is anyone here able to do it for me?

Will travel and pay, obviously.
Thanks

A replacement IKE will need to be coded......did you notice that next to the 'new' mileage was a little dot indicating that the displayed mileage is incorrect....this is called the tamper dot.

No I didn’t notice, I read somewhere that I’d you fit different clocks with lower miles the original miles will show.

Anyway, going forward, I’m looking for someone who can code my new clocks to the vehicle.... any ideas?

Nope, sorry.
Do you still have the original cluster?

Yes, I've still got the original cluster. I'm wondering if I can use the electronics side of the old clocks on the new working cluster?

Ideally the new clocks will be coded to the car.....what type of system does that?

Only something like the Faultmate Extreme or Testbook (dealers/indys) that can do the capture of information from the old IKE and recode it to the replacement IKE.

Looks like £279 might just happen Unless , of course, you or a friend have faultmate extreme or stealers quotes less......... unlikely.
