Instrument cluster problem

[PaulB1]

I'm beginning to think mine is a UK/US cluster with TPMS because it seems from above posts that some UK units have TPMS and some don't so I'm looking for a UK cluster without TPMS. I think I'll be looking for a while. Thanks.

No ISF UK unit has TPMS. As mentioned I have upgraded mine and no TPMS. Have you spoken to the seller to confirm where it’s from and if you can get your money back? 

[PaulB1]

Bought car with this, thought buy  some tyre sensors it'll be fine. Other than this and the stupid xtron with a dodgy pcb it's mint for 16yrs old.

So the person you bought the car from doesn’t have the Japanese cluster still? I think with the cluster you have, you will struggle to pass an MOT.

Options you have:

Find a second hand UK cluster for the ISF

Buy a new ISF cluster from the Dealer. Last time I checked, it was £800 plus, that was way before Covid.

Get a Japanese cluster and live with KMPH.

[PaulB1]

It recently passed MOT. 

Second hand is the best but I'll have to wait awhile

I'll check dealer because not doing KMH

[Arqum]

I think you will be in for a very long wait for a second hand one…

Re the MOT pass, probably a ‘friendly’ mate at the MOT station who passed it. But the rules are if any warnings they should be recorded.

I think you either live with the message that comes up, I wouldn’t or buy brand new if you are not willing to wait. 
 

I bought brand new as I wanted the later cluster.

What's the part number for the later spec UK cluster?

Wonder what the price is now for it.

 

[PaulB1]

The cluster available on dec 13th £3000+ VAT ouch!

Aliexpress is always worth a look.....lots of third party instrument clusters that might fit the bill

[PaulB1]

Thanks never thought about them, will have a look

Nothing on aliexpress but found new updated clocks from Nengun in Japan for £776 delivered.

Or secondhand one 2008 style from Be Forward auto parts (Japan) £250 delivered. So I have options

That's a super greedy markup by Lexus UK 😕

I'd get the later style clock from Nengun rather than the older type secondhand.
