Does anyone know what happens to the Mileage if you change the Dashboard in a Mk3 Mondeo?

Is the Mileage stored on the ECU?

Will the car even start?

The reason I ask is that I changed my dials, and I am not really happy with the look bit the needles are slightly damaged so was looking to replace the complete unit but don't want to go through Ford doing the work!

Any help appreciated!

The mileage is only held in the dash pod,so changing the pod will result in the new speedo mileage being displayed.The car will start no problem as there is no immobiliser in the instrument cluster on these.hth

Thanks! Didn't think it would be simple!

I was hoping to put a new dash in and my mileage would pop up on the new dash!

Nevermind.
