Fitted a highline IPK and finally fixed the 999999 miles problem!

Rick-sta · 16th August 2017, 17:43

After 4 years with a corrupted eeprom on my dad's 75 causing the IPK to show the mileage as 999999, we finally have the mileage showing up again.

Upgraded my dads's 75's instrument cluster to a highline one today with the trip computer and programmed it in. Had to enter in an estimated mileage figure after the IPK and LSM stopped recording the mileage over 4 years ago when the eeprom became corrupted after a jump start.

Also fitted the correct MKII 75 dial faces since our 75 is a MKII, but was fitted with MKI clocks from the factory. Converted the LEDs in the MKII clocks from white to amber though, as personally find that looks much better than the white LEDs they fitted to MKII 75 clocks.

One very happy Dad

got some new toys to play with

enabled the digital speedo as well.

Here's some before and after pics

Thankyou. This is what it looks like - an "err" and an "EP" to my eyes!

You were missing the “img” in square brackets at the start and the final square bracket at the end.
