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 Medway visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
Getting to Medway is straightforward — the M2, then to your door anywhere in ME1, ME2, ME4 and ME7. 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'.
The method never changes: cluster out, casing open, failed LCD lifted off, new screen seated and the unit rebuilt. Your mileage lives in memory on the board — the glass is just the window onto it — so the figure that lights up afterwards is the one your car earned. No coding session, no dealer visit, nothing to marry up.
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 Medway.
Screen work is one lane of what the van carries — cluster repair for all makes, diagnostics and component coding ride along on every Medway visit.
