Instrument cluster connector

[voucht]

Hi,
I'm keeping the original instrument cluster from my donor (Sierra 2.0i DOHC 1992), but the previous owner of this car just made a big mess of the connector to this cluster. Cables there have been cut, soldered, re-cut, got connector crimped on some of them, added a long "chocolate block" connector, all of this very close to the cluster's connector which does not allow me to re-cut and make nice and clean connections as I want to do. It is a proper mess, and I have problem reconnecting everything correctly. The best think for me would be to change this connector. Do you guys know where I can get hold of a connector with a sufficient length of cable (in order to be able to re-connect it nicely to my loom) in the UK? Or perhaps one of you who didn't keep the original instrument cluster from his Sierra donor and could sell me the connector from his original loom?
Thanks in advance.

Can you upload or send a photo of your instrument cluster plug. How much cable do you require on the end of the plug? I still have my old clocks and plug, but it was from a XR4x4 so may not be the same??

Thanks for the reply.

Here are some pictures of the cluster and the connector (and its mess). The
picture of the connector itself is blur, sorry about that, but we can see it is a 12 pins. I would need 10cm of cable, or even less, as long as I have enough room to solder or connect in some other way to my loom.

Was your engine a 2.0i DOHC? In that case it should be OK.

Actually, I might be interested in buying the complete cluster, as mine is not a very good shape either (as you can see on the picture of the back side, the guy soldered an earth cable, which made the plastic melt, it's just pig work!)

So just let me know!

Thanks a lot.

Somewhere on the forum there is a pinout of the connector that might help Slyvain,dont know where but sure it's on here.

Thanks for that Paul,
I had a go with the forum's search engine, and the only thing I could find is this thread.

Is it the one you were thinking about? If it is, unfortunately it is for a CVH, and for what I can see, the order of the pins is different from my DOHC cluster.

Thanks anyway for the input

My clocks seem to be different, I don't have a photo of the connector, but will dig it out at the weekend. I also machined the housing down
