I've got a short in my instrument cluster
 
Dropped the X off at the dealer yesterday. Even after they changed the steering rack, I still wasn't happy with the front end. Too much play in the steering wheel and I was all over the road when hitting any kind of bump or uneven road seam. Anyway, as I was leaving I mentioned that I was hearing a surging noise while idling. They just called, the front end is done, some kind of bushings. They said that the electical surge I heard was due to a short in the instrument cluster and they will replace. :mad: Are they going to rip my dashboard apart. :yikes: Anyone else have this one happen?

Replacing the cluster is easy. They should be done in 15 minutes. No surgery required. You can relax. :)

I do take good care of her. Service advisor said I was lucky I heard it before things started going haywire. She'll be ready Friday and I'm off of work. Might take the opportunity to test drive the E70 and the 650 :)

Doesn't bother me SG, She goes back Jan 08. It's funny, I was just considering keeping her since I'm not loving the E70 and she has been pretty trouble free.
