Would it be a very hard job to exchange the LCD diaply on a Tuscan MK I?

Mine has the typical lost lines and is unreadable sometimes...

OK,
so yesterday i decided to gather all my braveness and started pulling the pod apart.

Well, not that hard to be honest. The exchange is a one hour job. I might write a short manual on this the next days, if useful.
(I´ve only done the dismantling so far, since the new display didn´t arrive yet.)

Regards,,
Björn.

A new display is around 110 quid. You can get it from Clever Trevor, TVR Power or elsewhere.

There was no way to save that money, since i thought it vital to get informed about the temperatures. Mine had so many missing lines, that it was not readable anymore.

I´ll write a little "how to" as soon as the new display arrives.

I think the gopher on here has done a write up with pics, try a search for his posts.

Yep, there definitely is a really good write up somewhere with pics, etc.

When I had my old Tuscan I remember having the laptop on the passenger seat as I was changing it. Got the unit from Clever Trevor as I believe these are better quality than the originals.

What is the best and what is the cheapest option?

Suppose £110 ain't too bad - I just seem to have a list of £100 jobs to do at the moment!

Well cheapest would be to call any breaker. Best would be a new one, I guess.

BTW,
sorry guys, I found the threat, but unfortunately the pics are no longer available. I´ll definately post some new ones:

Are the different new options all the same or are there differences?

There is also someone who rebuilds them but no idea of quality or cost.

Looked at this a while agao but found there was not that much info out there and obviously people only tended to do it once so difficult to comapre the options!

Got mine rebuilt twice before it settled down. Still got that weird fault where the screen stays on after the ignition is switched off. You have to press the footbrake to shut the screen down (MK2 Targa)
