    few days back i made a rushed attempt to change the colour of my dials..i ended up fully killing 3 of them (pic below) so now i need a dash dials board.

    the question is...new dash dials = settin milage again which costs around 40 quid? but its digital..if thats the case then why when i disconnect the battery everythin gets reset but the milage? so surely the milage is not in the dials!

    might sound silly but i thought id ask before buyin a new one because someone said i will need to redo the milage...thanks!

    The mileage on a mk2 cluster are stored in what can best be described as a memory unit.

    no, the mileage is stored in the dials but permanantly.
