OK dragged out all the L3 dash stuff I had and I only have the left and middle LCD's with medium bleeds. What I thought was LCD's were infact just the plastic backing bits that go behind the LCD.

And 1 complete VS trip computer with about 205kms on it. All 3 LCD's are clean and it has 4 working globes in it last tme I tested it. Was not planning on selling it - but cash can twist the arm

All the other spares I had - sent 1 L3 cluster to NZ for a JC user and sold the minor damaged ones to the mechanic who works on my car - also did the L3 loom for him too.

As far as I know it's the same trip computer - just the cluster that is different.

I may be wrong - or just lucky after all the swapping and changing I've done

I've had the trip computers from VR, VS & VQswapped around.

Wierd i whacked the VS Trip comp into an 88 VN Cluster ... blue smoke and neither has worked since ........

Hmmm - I may have been VERY lucky then.

What was the colour of the backing board (VN 1 was green, a VR 1 was dark blue and the VQ was red from memory).

If your spare screens have minor bleeds anyway I won't worry.. unless you'll split that VS trip comp up.. which I'm guessing you really don't want to

The bleeds in my 2 are only little ones in the top corners, so enough out of the way to get away with.. still, I don't want to put the cluster in until I get them replaced.

hmm anyone got middle screen for vp? mine is ok but 2 or 3 of the parts of the 7 digit display for a number don't work. so i never know if it's like an 8 or 0 for fuel consumption. not the worst, but i would like it fixed
