you would need to take the dash out and send it away to someone like -

or
http://www.clusterrepairsuk.co.uk/re...repair-service
to get it sorted

Any idea on the cost of such repairs ? Would a used cluster possibly be a cheaper option ? There would be quite a few D2's broken for spares at this stage.
Obviously, the odometer reading would need to be corrected with a used cluster.

That aside, if it's a FL D2 then the immobiliser encoder is built into the cluster so that's why it's better to get it repaired. I have no idea of the cost but I would guess at about £150, I would enquire with both the companies linked to

The used cluster mileage cannot be corrected. From what I've read previously, once it goes beyond 100km, it can't be changed.

A 'mileage adjustment' service provider can get around the bars on dealers altering mileage beyond that limit.

These circumstances are the only ones I'd consider using such an outfit to alter the mileage, but as per Neil's suggestion I would prefer for the original cluster to be repaired. it's unlikely to be difficult/time consuming and they'll give you a warranty for the work.
