Technical LCD instrument panel failure Panda twinair 2015

[Bucks Panda Driver]

LCD display at the centre of the instrument cluster is gradually dying. Bit-by-bit, the individual elements dim, fade and disappear! Is there a cost-effective way to replace? Can I buy a used unit from eBay and fit that, or will I not be able to link the mileage display correctly to my car? Any ideas gratefully received. Thanks.

You can fit a replacement cluster,

But mileage needs to be LOWER than yours, as the software cannot LOWER the displayed Odometer reading, just increase it

Ooh. Interesting. Thank you! Otherwise, do you think there's no issue in connecting the replacement and it working okay?

The 500 has along history of faulty dash displays (damp PCB's)
And that is the procedure for them..
They can even fit newer LCD without issue

Panda is very closely related

Be better posting in the correct section more people that have had this problem will see your post

They are replaceable



Couldn't find one cheap in stock though

£72 at the moment have seen them around £40 in the past

Common home software can only correct milage upwards
