Aww man...this morning I decided to reinstall my cluster. I dumbheadedly thought I’d move the car across the garage to a more convenient spot. I forgot about the oil pressure line. I should have known because my 240d had a leaky gauge. Oil all over the dash and floor.

Then I got it all back together and realized a bulb dropped out of the socket and was rolling around behind the speedo case.
So I did the job 3x. The story of my life.
