HI all, Ive recently bought an 08 plate sporting multijet 130, and things started bad and are getting gradually worse.
First we had an intermittent fault where the instrument lights would all light up, and speedo and rev counter would stop working. Next the dashboard failed completely - no lights no gauges no trip computer - the only exception was the engine light came on before start up as normal. All of the functions seem to work, indicators etc but no dials.
Finally, the instrument pod is now dead, engine light included.
The car was put on bosch diagnostics at a bosch service centre and the diagnostic system coulnt find the dashboard (at least the guy didnt charge me - honest garage! Strathclyde Autotune in Hamilton, I'd use them again)
OK, has anyone come across this fault?
The car has a third year dealer warranty which has been transferred into my name, but I do not have a service book for the car, can anyone advise me what the terms and conditions of the warrant are?
If it needs a new instrument cluster, can a second hand one be used?
Any advise is much appreciated
Cheers
