Dodgy odometer display

Halfmadhelen · Jun 29, 2015

I need help please. The LCD odometer on my mk1 freelander has what looks like a black splodge a cross it, preventing me from seeing the numbers. Is this fixable, and if so can I do it myself?[emoji17]

"splodge" usually means the liquid crystal display has died.

I don't know if you can get the display on it's own, but best option might be just to grab another cluster, pull the display unit out and swap it over?

Anyone tried this before?

I would guess that it would be a straight forward swap over. The ECU will store the data that gets displayed so the change over shouldn't matter.

It depends on what year FL1 you have.

Thank you all, I'll go to my local breakers yard and see what I can pick up. Jrnorway it was first registered in 2001

that looks as though something has laid lots of eggs.

I was going to suggest that a fly took a dump in there but decided against it ......

I've never seen dead pixels looking like that. It looks more as someone has been poking it with a pen. I'd have to strip that down and investigate.
