Fainter every month.
Still 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 earlyThe Windsor visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
From Slough to Windsor is a short hop for us, and Berkshire as a whole is core territory — SL4 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.
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 Windsor, one fixed price agreed up front, one hour of your day.
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.
