I’ve looked at various posts on here detailing repairs, but mine doesn’t look like those. Open to any other suggestions to get them working.
If I replace the whole clocks with something from eBay will they just work or do they need to be vin coded?

Help with odometer not displaying
On my 2008 Dispatch the odometer isn’t working.

Re: Help with odometer not displaying
They are not coded to the van as such however the mileage is stored in both the BSI and instrument panel. If you connect a panel with a higher mileage than yours the higher miles will be instantly (and permanently) written to your BSI. If you fit a panel with lower miles than yours the 'new' panel will take the higher miles from your BSI so the miles will be the same as they were.
Might be worth just initially using the panel for parts if the mileage is unknown. It may just be a failed LCD display & looks like it would be swappable from a donor panel.
