Yes it has a PCB sort of arrangement and has IC's and processors, so easily damaged part. Like i say, the mileage is stored in the dash cluster somehow, therefore it must be more than just lights and wires to them. I doubt the ECU would be damaged or the car would have bigger issues.
have you had a code reader on to see if that works?

Ah great that would be a handy easy fix then. Just a shame to lose my 66k on the clock
I do but there's no faults showing. MOT is out I was planning to put it in to the garage tomorrow. Typical really
Start by replacing the bulbs. These lights are controlled by the ecu as to when they go out. There's unlikely to be a fault with that, so you've damaged something where they plug in, either the bulbs themselves or the holders.
I'm not sure but the ecu might store the mileage. So a replacement might show your car's mileage.

Nope, my mileage (km) was very much improved after changing the cluster.

might be different on older cars though, mine is a 2005. the cluster is 2012.
Could be there is also a milage read out from the ECU that shows the real mileage, but that does not update the cluster mileage.
Brake warning light did not shut down before, and after changing the cluster more lights will shine for a test first few seconds after turning ignition on. Can hear relays clicking on - off corresponding to the warning lights as well now.
The bulbs are ok. It's possible I've burned the circuitry in the green plastic on the back of the cluster. I think trying a new cluster is the easiest way. Shame I don't have a friend with one I could borrow but I guess if I buy one and it doesn't cure it I can try to sell it on.
I can live without a management light but the oil light is also missing which is the potentially worrying and expensive issue ...
I measured the signals on the connectors into the cluster to find they were all there and correct before buying a new one..
It is all there in the FSM, but the wiring inside the cluster is more difficult to find.
