There’s an opportunity to buy a 749S, yellow, Mono, at a knock down price of £3k because it has a ‘few electrical issues’. The main one of which (the others are really minor) is the fact the speedo reading is erratic or non-existent, ie it either jumps around or reads 0. Allegedly the speed sensor (first obvious culprit) has been changed but the issue persists, leading the owner to believe it could be an issue with the dash display circuitry. I know the dash/instrument unit, ecu and keys are all coded to each other so it’s not as simple as changing the dash out as all 3 units need to be kept in sync or else there’ll be issues with the immobiliser. Has anyone with a 749/999 had a similar issue? What’s the collective mind/thoughts on this? TIA
I have a Virgin 749/999 Dash you can have for £200. Providing you have the red key it can be programmed to the keys/ECU. Factor that cost into your negotiations.
