Ghosting and dropouts.
The display stutters, shadows, or blinks whole sections. Vibration and temperature both trigger it. A failing LCD, announcing itself.
Gets worseYou shouldn't lose a whole cluster to one dead screen. Our Crawley visits swap the LCD in your original unit — no coding after, no proxi alignment, no donor mileage. Just your dash, working.

Gets worseStill readable — just less than last summer. Bond degradation is one-directional. Swapping the screen at this stage is the same job at the same price, minus the weeks of squinting.
Fix it earlySpeed and revs still read — they're driven by the working side of the cluster. Fuel level, range, clock, temperature and mileage all lived on the screen you can no longer see.
Why it mattersEights 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.
ProgressiveGetting to Crawley is straightforward — the M23 at junctions 10–11, then to your door anywhere in RH10 and RH11. The job itself is even more routine: on the 2007-on 500 the display fails long before the cluster does, so we changed our answer from 'replace the unit' to 'replace the glass'.
We don't exchange units and we never post anything. Your cluster stays with your car: we open it, remove the dead glass, fit the replacement screen and rebuild it on the spot. Because the board — and the odometer memory on it — never changes, the car treats the cluster as what it is: the same one it left the factory with.
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 Crawley, one fixed price agreed up front, one hour of your day.
One visit can clear a list: cluster faults on any make, key programming, diagnostics — tell us everything the car's doing when you book your Crawley slot.
Home, office or street parking anywhere in RH10 and RH11 — we arrive via the M23 at junctions 10–11 with the screen already on the van. Nearby, the same visit runs to:
