Digits half-missing.
Eights read as sixes, the trip looks like code. Individual segment lines have dropped off the glass. The stored numbers are fine; the display of them isn't.
ProgressiveThe Chelmsford visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
Chelmsford sits well inside our mobile patch — we run in via the A12 and cover every CM1, CM2 and CM3 address. The 500 is everywhere in Essex, which means so is this fault: the segment LCD between the dials cooking itself to death over years of dashboard heat.
It's a screen swap, not surgery. The failed LCD comes off the original board, the new one goes on, and the cluster goes straight back into the dash. Immobiliser pairing, coding, stored mileage: all untouched, because the only component that changed is the one that displays them.
The alternative is a whole-cluster replacement: parts on order, a booking queue, an alignment step, and often weeks off the road in bits or limping. For a failed screen that's overkill. One mobile visit to Chelmsford, one fixed price agreed up front, one hour of your day.
Screen work is one lane of what the van carries — cluster repair for all makes, diagnostics and component coding ride along on every Chelmsford visit.
