    If it is the same a VT, there are different level BCM's which you may need to get for the cluster to work right.

    you've got the L3 cluster all you need is the loom. there is a thread called "tripping" which a quick search should find it. that thread is dedicated to getting the L3 cluster and trip computer up and running

    so you have grafted the extra plug for the L3 cluster successfully? then the trip computer shouldnt be too hard

    hey mate quick question, i have a few lvl 3 clusters that i have sitting here, thing i want to know is when you installed it before wiring it into the loom did the gauges work fine? as in all of them?
    for me fuel, temp, and rev work fine, but speedo won't move at all, and it's like that on all 3 of these basterds!!!
    so let us know if you had all gauges working cheers mate!
