Changing my instrument cluster

[Steviesam]

Peugeot Boxer van, 2017.

I need to change the whole instrument cluster, but can I just plug it straight in?

As I understand it, the van will use whichever mileage is highest (the cluster or the van ECU), but thats fine, I dont care if it shows a million miles really as I wont be selling it. But are there going to be more problems, or is that it?

TIA for any help.

Can't help specifically with that part on that car but from my experience of other ECUs on other vehicles, I wouldn't be surprised if it needs some sort of "coding" to the car.

Yes that my concern. I guess we will see, I have ordered a second hand one from the same model, same year so fingers crossed!

I know nothing about Peugeots, but I have changed can-bus devices on our Skoda and recoding them was trivial with a £10 "VAG specific" bluetooth dongle and associated phone app.

The answer to this question is no I think. I got a second hand one from the same model and same year, and there are all the hill brake/ABS/ESC errors on it.
However, what it does tell me is that someone has tampered witrh the ABS/ESP lights on the old dashboard, because they do light up on the new dashboard (which they didnt on the old one and thats why it failed the CT-French MOT).
