Is there a catch with these instrument packs?

Probably not other than they're the basic panel ie no info centre. They seem to do a lot of bargains........I know I've spent money with them before "Oooh that's cheap-dont need it but it's cheap"

As above,the zwarehouse have some great bargains.

Rimmers has these for £35 not so long ago.

They also had the ones for the ZT.. as they are the basic ones they are pretty much worthless now.

The only 'catch' to fitting these is you must factor in the cost of a T4 installation charge and you should not fit them unless the T4 is only a couple of miles away. Best plan is to take car and new IPK (unfitted) to the T4 site and fit it there before having the electronics sorted. However, I think most people doing this would buy the unit with the computer facility/highline system. These require the purchase of the appropriate indicator stalk, but they can be found around.

Can an IPK have its mileage reset? Only asking as I have a high-lien one but since it currently reads 120k its not that desirable as a retrofit upgrade if the mileage cant be adjusted to match the car it is being fitted to

They also have ZT instrument packs with message centre for £25 or best offer. Got one for my Dad's. Bargain IMO.

As far as I know, you can only fit new instrument packs ' properly ' , although I have heard alterations can be made with
second hand units, but wouldn't risk it personally.

Nope you need to fit a brand new one to your car then the mileage is matched to the new IPK from the LSM. in effect you cant fit a second hand IPK to your car as the mileage will mismatch.

cheers! IPK stays with the remains of the car then. What a waste
