Hi All

I recently fitted an LCD that you can actually see, its great even works with the sun shinning directly on it, no more guessing when you are going to run out of fuel or waiting for the low fuel buzzer, one of the best upgrades I have done smile , see link for details

I have one of these, ready to be fitted if mine ever goes on the blink - may have to get someone to install mine though, with my woeful track record...

I may do when it goes in for its post run-in service. I have a new clear screen for the dash pod, too. I bought them last year, but thought, if it ain't broke.. (I'll probably beake it..)

Ive got the white on black and it's a massive improvement, also a LOT cheaper than a standard replacement.
Easy to fit as well and quite satisfying for me to say I did it smile

Not fitted my one from Lee yet, but will be as soon as the car comes back.

Should be a much better replacement from the all green LCD affair. Much more modern and cheaper biggrin

It would be great if something similar could be done for the Tuscan Mk1 displays?!

Thanks guys! I will post a link up to my how to guide when I'm on my PC too.

I was going to do one for the Tuscan but as I don't have one it's difficult to do all the R&D and test them like I do these but maybe ;-).

Sent an email but not heard anything yet frown

Leaning towards a green item as the other dash lights are green.

Lee, I have a Tuscan LCD that I took out because it had the lines running through. Would you be able to use this to develop a Tuscan LCD? If so, you are welcome to it.
