Instrument Panel
Book as the CHECK ONLY first. (8aw’s)
If after the check it does need replacing the part has to be ordered in (currently from Germany) as it is chassis specific.
So please inform the customer that if after the check it does need replacing, it will NOT be carried out the same day and will have to be rebooked when the part arrives.
The part could potentially take up to 1 month to arrive once ordered (should usually be sooner but make the customer aware if asked).

If a vehicle requires re-programming as part of a QEP or Recall, we will need the vehicle for the day.
