LCD dash repair

[navinf]

I have a 2003 Tuscan S that is going to get some TLC over the next few weeks. Moving house and renovating has meant that the p&j has been garaged for a while.

However, having been a long-time reader of the posts on this forum, I am going to upgrade to HID xenons on Monday and am planning to repair the LCD screen which suffers from the usual demons.

However, there seem to be 2 LCD display options for sale: (1) Raceproved LCD display sold on ClevorTrevor website (£161 inc VAT) and (2) LCD display from TVR Power (£107 inc VAT).

Has anybody got any recommendations as to which I should get? What is the difference between them to explain the price difference?

LCD's can often be repaired, right?
I think there are ex TVR staff offering this service someplace. Mine just got done this way (via Dreadnought).

I had mine done at Racing Green & they have a service where they only replace the displays that have gone, very happy now.

Don't want to be rude but can I ask how much that cost and did you take the LCD out and send it to them or give them the car.

Thanks

Mines was acting up and got fixed via X-Works TVR in Lancashire. They drop them off to the lady that used to build them at the factory.

Is it much cheaper to get them repaired rather than replace?

Which is more likely to not go wrong again?!

Getting bored of not being able to read my screen.

Hi dav3, a bit difficult to say as it wasn't just one screen that had gone several of them had lines across them but all they chraged me for was £99.73 for parts and the labour was included in a service, but all told I was really happy with how little it cost. I hope this helps, ring Martin Slade their service manager their- CK

Thanks for that add to list of little jobs to do

Must be the same lady ex of TVR who also fixes the speedos... Hope she doesn't get hit by a bus otherwise we're all shafted. J
