Hi guys am after some help I have a 645. Year 2004 the dash has stopped working. Just keeps flickering. Only works when the car is really hot inside has any one had the same problem 

Morning Paul

Welcome to the Forum

First has anything else been done to the car ? Jump Start any work carried out?

I take it you have checked connections and fuse? flickering could be a loose connector, worth checking the free stuff first. Then there is the old trick of disconnecting the battery for 10 mins or so then re-connecting (acts like a hard reset with a computer) 

If you dont have a loose connector, I would disconnect spray with contact cleaner and reconnect same with the fuse. If none of this works talk to people like Cartronix, BBA Reman, ECU testing all are experienced with repair of electronic bits, if you get your own instrument cluster repaired you should have no issues. If you get a replacement it will need coding to the car otherwise you will get a tamper dot next to the mileage.

Hope this helps

Dave
