Clk200 Dash Board

[Willie O Driscoll]

Hi everyone.

I know I asked this question before, but I didn't get a good answer.

Some of the lights in my dash board need replacing and also one of the Digital desplays is not working.

Can someone give me a step by step instruction how to remove the Dash to repair these faults.

Thanking you in advance.

Willie.

what year clk?

If its around 2000 with the square computer read out, it should be the same as the 210 - in which case take a look at my post in the DIY section

Thank you. Is it easy to replace bulbs in there and Temp Digital desplay. Just incase I need to??

Temp Display

I seem to remember reading that you can't replace the temp display. This is a common fault bur requires a complete new display set (binnacle?). I've lived without a temp display for a year now since the some hundreds of pounds this will cost didnt seem worthwhile. There is a thread, somwehere, on the forum about sending the display away and getting the "tags" re soldered, but I can't find the thread. However, since my clock is starting to go as well I may have to revisit.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Bulbs - easy.
Temp display - the theory goes that it's caused by a poor connection between the ribbon cable and the underside of the display. People have had success by fashioning a small wedge out of an rubber (eraser) and wedging it under the connection. (this wasn't known when I attempted mine).
Failing that, google "speedofixer" and "BBA_REMAN" who both repair these faults. I believe speedofixer is around £150. BBA maybe a little more.

Thanks you. I am not in a hurry to do it but when I do I'll let you know how I got on.

Thanks again
