Hi!

I've had the old Tuscan for two and a half years and going very well, thanks to Martin and the boys at Racing Green.

The only thing is my LCD display is starting to give up the ghost. It virtually disappeared earlier this year, then after spending a fortnight around Europe in hotter climes, it came back to life. However, spending another month here in the UK, it started to fade, and now I can only see the Ts and Ps. Which is good.

How much (£ and time) for a replacement?

And can I fix it by using my wife's hairdryer to remove condensation?

Hi Andy,
I had mines done whilst it was in for a service, the pod did go back to the factory though, seemingly the problem was the heat shield? I would have no LCD display till the car warmed up after some hour of driving, I also had some sort of radar type of line scanning down the screen when it was fully functional.
Since the mod the screen has been like new and only ever get an EFI fault on start up after I wash it, my driveway is on a rear slope and I get loads of water at the back end of the bonnet, lights & doors etc.
It cost @ £200 for the mod, don't know if that's good bad or indifferent, during a service? I just know the end result was worth it.

Best Regards,

James Sim.
