    My instrument cluster failed a few months ago so replaced it with a second hand one from another e46 (not exact same model, mines a compact). All dials now work fine, apart from my ASC light is always now on, and I have no dial lights at night time. Any clues or ideas much appreciated.

    Not sure if this is normal or not but on a long drive today I realised my MPG dial does something a little odd when coming to a stop. By 'Max' I mean high MPG and 'low' I mean low MPG. So imagine driving along, coming to a junction,foot comes off the accelerator, MPG dial drops to resting on...

    Wasnt expecting to need the BMW over winter as I bought a jeep for the harsh weather but as I've already killed it I'd better fix the heater in my BMW as it only blows cold air! I'm fairly sure this is as simple as the cable in the hot - cold dial switch not being connected at one end as it...
