Ipk transplant

[varleyjr]

I'm considering a transplant of my dash dials and I think but not sure that it is called an IPK.

What I would like to know is can this be done from the older one with no screen to one with the screen to display things like MG and so on.

If it can what is needed?

Also how big of a job is it?

Thanks

You can but you need a T4 to make it work, Klarzy doesn't have one ;):}

Source yourself a HilIne IPK and make a trip up to BigRuss in Cleckheaton W.Yorks and he will code it in with T4.

[klarzy]

if you are going from a non message centre IPK to a message centre (with the screen) then you need a new IPK with a screen and a virgin program installed so that it can be successfully married up to your car.

Things like dials etc are easily interchanged but you do need to consider things like


LED colour behind the dials
Reversing sounder (do you have and does it come from the ipk?)
if you have a 260 (v8) then you need a special kind of IPK as the standard types wont work with that model.


Dials, needles can all be customised to suit as can the Led's but if you can get an IPK with what you want then it saves that cost.

I am low ish on stock at the moment and have 4 customers this week who may need one so I can not promise to have one when you are ready, but if you look on ebay or ask breakers then one with a YAC 003850 ot YAC 003750 code should see you ok.

remember if you get a second hand one it will need virginising before install.

I know that myself, Marinbrian and Phil T4 can do this and they can supply an ipk as well... Brian and Phil can also T4 the ipk to the car (I can not)

a bit to think about but should give you some idea....

I don't mind a drive over to see Russ if needed

I can transplant from 1 message centre to another, but not an upgrade from non to message centre...

We can all do that :getmecoat::D

Out of interest, what's the difference?

[klarzy]

I think the fuel gauge resistance feed is reversed, maybe stepper motor differences too...

[Mike Noc]

They probably had to use faster stepper motors for the V8 fuel gauges........:getmecoat:

A bit of lead on the end of the pointer would fix that:eek:

[varleyjr]

Had a good chat with Russ and seems I have a project for the warmer weather. Just need to find a stalk and the ipk on eBay

You will need the earlier white illumination. Perhaps stick a post in the items wanted section, could be cheaper and keep it all in the club.

[varleyjr]

Good idea, thanks

[klarzy]

I may have one with a virgin program....;)

[varleyjr]

Thanks Klarzy, I'll keep that in mind if the cheaper ones don't work out

£65+ post for virginised, line free, colours you are looking for....
you will be hard pressed old chap...

[varleyjr]

Ah sorry bud I saw your post for the £160 thought you were talking about that one

[klarzy]

Ah sorry bud I saw your post for the £160 thought you were talking about that one

no, I have "a few" ;)

the £160 is heavily customised

[varleyjr]

It looks very nice bar the chrome. I'm not a chrome man myself. If you still have it on payday ill grab it (last Friday in January)

I can easy put a ZT grey bezel in it for you...

[varleyjr]

Will my old one fit?

[klarzy]

Will my old one fit?

they are all interchangeable

whats special about the old one...?

[varleyjr]

Cool I don't mind me dismantling mine to transfer it into the £60 one. To save you doing it ;)

[klarzy]

it will be easier and safer for me to do it, they can be....fragile...

unless you see a vid of me testing it before sending, then it is all your responsibility....

IPK plus post (next day signed for, insured.)... £76

[varleyjr]

What colour back light is it. Sorry if I use the incorrect names for some of these things.

[varleyjr]

If you have a pic can you send it me so I can clear this with my boss ( the missus )

[klarzy]

I should charge 15 extra for the lower led's in white but I will let it go for you... I can put diesel dials in if needed as well...

all you need do it T4 to your car at a meet etc...

unless you have a message centre then it is a straight program swap or chip swap which I can do (you are only 101 miles away...)

[varleyjr]

I run a petrol 160 v6 so no need to swap the dials. The car is trophy blue with part leather blue seats and I was going to swap all the dash lights out for blue.

That can be done.... any good at soldering 2.3*3.2 mm SMD led's with 4 connections...... or I do a service as per

[varleyjr]

I'm **** at soldering. I get bored and just melt loads of solder but the wife's dad love any chance to solder ;)

[klarzy]

The only thing I will say is it is very easy to make a mess...


this is one of the 40+ LED's you need to change...

[varleyjr]

****, that's tiny

[klarzy]

The offer is there (unless it sells before)

A fully blue IPK with blue dials, blue lower display and blue / white message centre will come to 160 plus post....

[varleyjr]

I'll go with the basic ipk for now. When I can afford a light change ill chuck it back your way ;)
