Also is this a DIY job has anyone done this before? any special tools needed?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Its easy to physically swap the cluster. You will need a pair of pulling hooks though to get the old one out.
However, as far as I am aware you cannot use a second hand cluster. They must be new or they wont work. The mileage on the car is stored in more than one place making it not so easy to 'clock' the cars these days.
Why dont you get the existing one repaired? There are a couple of companies around that will fix it for you.
