Focus 1.6 Petrol 52 plate - Instrument cluster replacement

Hi All

My instrument cluster has been playing up for a couple of months now. Most of the time the dials are dead (indicator and full beam info lights work fine) and I have been following all the suggestions in the massive thread http://www.rac.co.uk/forum/showthrea...ectrical-fault but its starting to look terminal.

If I was to replace the instrument cluster (I'm planning on doing it myself if it comes to this) what do I need to consider?

1. Can I just replace it without any worries about the immobiliser and such like?
2. Can I set the mileage myself (I'm thinking some third party software maybe needed). I've got over 94K on the clock currently.
3. If I can not reset the mileage myself, where do I stand legally? As in can the car still pass the MOT, insurance etc. with the mileage now showing 0 or a value significantly different from the old value?

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy a new one? I want to avoid old one in case they have the same problem.

So far I have found http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...&condition=new which is considerably cheaper than others I have seen. Would it be worth getting one from the scrappy to test with?

Thanks for your help.
