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 Maidenhead visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
From Windsor to Maidenhead is a short hop for us, and Berkshire as a whole is core territory — SL6 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.
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.
Compare the franchise route: a complete replacement cluster has to be ordered, the car booked in, and the new unit proxi-aligned — drivers regularly report the whole cycle running into weeks. Ours runs into an afternoon in Maidenhead, and the quote you get by reg before we travel is the figure you pay.
Screen work is one lane of what the van carries — cluster repair for all makes, diagnostics and component coding ride along on every Maidenhead visit.
