Cluster removal tips : -

For early cars 2002 to 2005  with BMW speedo it is possible to only release and lift the drivers side of the top dash on UK right hand drive cars  i.e. you do not need remove the cup holder  and vents on the passenger side as this takes considerable longer to do. There is enough flex in the top dash cover and if your hands are small enough to only lift the drivers side enough to get a a mini ratchet in there.

Always take photos of the needle positons before opening - e.g. how much fuel you have

Range Rover LR322 2002-2005 almost identical to the BMW E39/ X5 speedo unit , similar instructions applicable for most parts of the job  see link below .  ( no economy  gauge on Range Rover cluster  ), based on BMW electronics for early models (02 to 05)

See the additional page info link here for the similar BMW speedo - this guide is a detailed step by step guide

 and  shows how to disassemble and remove the dial on the BMW speedo also shows info on dial removal and LED fitting/changing.

You may also want to spray the needle hubs silver to get the supercharged look - this is done once the needles are loose , you want to suspend them slightly or you can place them in the cluster back cover and twist them into the round holes.

LED fitting info can be found  here , you will need your soldering iron, flux and solder , tweezer and ususally a magnifier sound you can see the rotation of the LEDs.

Photo below: Change over year car late 2005 has the green dial but has the newer speedo electronics , you can see the LCD is different , photo also shows the silver hubs on he needles. This version has approx 15 LEDs behind the LCD strip , the earlier model has 5 light bulbs Osram 286.

Photo above on the later 2006-2009  car using a white strip gives the grey effect backlight, this being a supercharged car has the silver needle hubs as standard  however, any needles can have the hub sprayed silver to match.

This  later model 2006 speedo is easier to lift the needles off by twisting off and there are no resting pins that go through the dials for the speed and rev counter.

Backlighting strip under the glass cars 2002-2005  : -

You will be replacing the green strip with the supplied colour strip, sometimes you may need to trim it down to size using the original green piece as a template. A small scissor is ideal for this.
