Where Fords keep the figure
Ford is refreshingly cluster-centric: the odometer master lives in the instrument cluster, which is why a swapped cluster simply parades the donor car's total until programmed. It's also why the Mk1 Focus's infamous odometer dashes (----) are a fault, not a figure problem — that's a repair job, and our Ford cluster pages cover every generation of it. PATS immobiliser pairing rides along with cluster work on many models, so a proper mileage job squares that too.
Why Ford owners land on this page
Nine times out of ten: a used cluster from a breaker showing the wrong mileage after the original died. We program the true documented figure and settle PATS in one visit — and if you're still deciding between fixing the original and fitting a donor, read repair vs replacement first; repair keeps your mileage untouched and often wins. Beyond that: km imports, and Transits whose working lives burn through dashes faster than cars ever do.
Models covered
Fiesta, Focus (Mk1–Mk4), C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo, Galaxy, S-Max, Transit and Transit Connect/Custom — the same family our cluster repair silo covers model by model. Call with the reg and the documented reading.
Whatever the reason — replacement cluster, import conversion, post-repair tidy-up or a rescued DIY attempt — the standard is the same: every module in agreement, verified at your address. Cost questions? The cost guide explains what moves the price.
Focus Mk2 — donor cluster in, 48k showing, 96k true
Owner fitted a tidy used cluster after total dash failure and inherited the donor's 48,000. One driveway visit: documented 96k programmed, PATS handshake settled, MOT history back on the rails.

Wouldn't repairing my original Ford cluster have been simpler?
My Focus shows dashes instead of mileage. Is that a correction job?
Do you sort PATS when programming a Ford cluster?
Transits too?
