I see so many rooted instrument clusters advertised on Facebook. Usually followed by the tag line , "Was working when removed".
PIGS ARSE!
If the needles aren't parked correctly then sure as shit your new $1500 - 2000 cluster is going to need another $800+ spent on it just to make it work!
Or 'Sports' clusters with the rear of the tacho cut out , because they never had a bloody tacho to begin with!
To have a cluster checked by an instrument fitter is around $150 , which is cheap insurance for the stupid asking prices these days.
BUYER BEWARE.
