I'm looking at buying a secondhand Tusan, but I know it needs a new digital display.
Q/ can you still get these form somewhere? All the posts and threads I find are quite a few years old.
Assuming I could get it sorted form somewhere, are they expensive / difficult to fit?

Can't help you myself, but is it a MK2 Periscope/Baboons Bum Dash or a Convertible style wavey dash ?
Paul Smith or Cath Mason (both ex factory) are probably the best contacts ..but i don't have either details , but i'm sure someone here has

I wouldn't suggest anyone without some electronics and soldering experience attempt it, but it isn't that difficult a job. Here are some examples of the displays you could use, the yellow/green one is closest to the original.

There are others available at lower prices from ebay, but you take your chance on quality and longevity.

There was a mod done on the periscope pod because no one could read the screen in bright sunlight smile .
If no one responds I'll try to find contact details for you ... I have a "man" who will know.

Thanks both, that's really useful.
Essentially I just wanted to know if I did buy a car with a broken display that it is fixable.. albeit maybe a bit of faff factor...
Cheers
