Dies warm, returns cold.
Works first thing, gone by the school run, back the next morning. Thermal expansion is breaking the contact — the endgame is a screen that doesn't come back.
Tell-tale signThe Harrow visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
From Uxbridge to Harrow is a short hop for us, and North West London as a whole is core territory — HA1, HA2 and HA3 all covered at your home or workplace. What brings us over most often isn't keys or coding: it's the 500's dash screen quietly giving up.
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.
A dealer can only sell the fix they stock: an entire cluster, ordered in, fitted and aligned — with the calendar doing the real damage, since the wait for parts and a slot is commonly measured in weeks. Replacing just the screen costs a fraction of that and happens the day we park outside your door in Harrow.
If the fault turns out to be deeper than the glass, the same visit covers it: full cluster repair, module replacement and proper diagnostics are all on board.
