It is quite possible to re-program a used cluster with a working oil level display with the VIN and mileage from your broken display. You can read about my efforts here: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/43017-carrera-gauge-swap.html

Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you the instructions. There are also companies in the US (Hollywood Speedometer and Palo Alto Speedometer) who will do this for you. I'm not sure how much used Boxster clusters sell for in the UK, but they are a lot less in than $1500 here in the US. I also don't know whether a US cluster will work in a UK car. They may since we both still use miles and miles per hour as units of measure.

Good luck.
