Ready is the combo of your dreams. The gravel lot is up to your imagination as well - sogni d'oro - hehehe! raicar LOL, thanks Raiko. I've tried searching pics of W461's on mobile.de but haven't found an answer yet...what year did the W461's begin coming with this style gauge cluster?

So most likely there is no such gauge cluster in this style WITHOUT an immobilizer??? (supposedly 461 immobilizer's came out in '97/98) | ||

Just look into the EPC, you can find a Canadian VIN here on the board, search for 461331 | ||

Actual delivery started 2003.

Looks like a preMBUSA W463 cluster. I'll ask in another thread if anyone knows of a W460 owner who has tried to fit a pre'02 W461 "domed" cluster into their rig for better gauge functionality/reliability...

This instrument cluster was - as far as I remember - "stolen" from the Sprinter. So check Sprinter scrapyards in the US for this part, if you want to have one. But why would one want to have this cluster, if you can replace and repair every single clock in the pre-290 Turbodiesel era (460 series and early 461 series) instrument cluster. If you have a problem with the newer one (up from 1996), you have to replace the whole unit.....again senseless and btw mucho expensive! raicar Edited by raicar 1/10/2011 5:57 AM | ||

Understood about the need to replace the entire 290GDT/Sprinter cluster if something goes wrong with one dial...was just looking for an alternative to the older W460 gauges. Thinking about going aftermarket VDO vs new OEM Mercedes/VDO just to have perhaps more reliable gauges. | ||

Mike Sorry not much detail on that, other than it's a 2010 model with 3800kms on the clock. I hope i'm not hi-jacking the thread, but I can't resist with these weird colours I come across. This blue one is quite rare too (says it's one of 4 in the UAE). (blueG.jpg) (blueG2.jpg) Attachments ---------------- blueG.jpg (189KB - 1 downloads) blueG2.jpg (117KB - 1 downloads) | ||
