Excellent Jim. I swapped my entire LCD display with a new one a while ago....Along with the bulb. Works a treat, but it has highlighted I need to resolder some joins, as it does like to still scramble. Apparently I drive a lot in neutral!

Me too, although in my case it's my brain that's in neutral!

Jaap, I sometimes, actually very often, question that fact
I've still not forgiven myself for blowing up a perfectly innocent ECU yet. If I had even half a brain I'd have not been so stupid
