Too many cowboys claiming they can work on d3 and getting payed for doing nothing… currently an instrument cluster fault stands me at £250 for cowboys who claim they can reprogram the cluster then blame the parking break module for it not starting to now shelling out another £320 for replacement parts so it will start and £180 for a parking break module that I needed but not at this current time spoke to a guy in Halifax Adamson independent who was very knowledgeable and filled in the blanks as to why the instrument cluster can not be tampered with.. it’s the king of immobilisers and can only be done by a gap 2 pro and correct information sending to recode the cluster.. if you try and copy or change the eeprom the car will auto correct its self and change the information back I’ve learnt the hard way and expensive way be careful who you trust with your discovery
