Hi, my ss runs the level 3 speedo cluster and the numbers in the left and middle screen have both started to disappeared.
i have a spare cluster and im wondering how hard it would be to swap the screens from the spare cluster to the one in my ss?

yes you can i think it might be easier to swap the whole section instead of individual screens which will change you odometer if you do. PM 88greenvn for more info he knows quite a bit about it

changing the lcds over isnt that hard, its preventing the housing that screws together for the trip lcds from breaking thats the hard one

Yep easy to swap over all three as a group, didnt know you could swap just one cause that could help me if you could?

The dot in my L/100km is missing so instead of 10.6 it will be 10 6 and the avg a inst is also gone. Ive got a spare set of LCD's but the far left ones bleeding.

Can be swapped over but must remain in the same spot - left middle and right. If you mix them up you will get all kinds of funnies.

As for the white fascia - I glue (5 min arldite) up all the plastic around the mount holes to keep it all together. You need pressure on the lcd pads for them to work so the fascia has to be in good nic - and they snap soooooo soooooo easy. Take your time and put the screws back into the same hole and it must follow the existing thread - it wont cut a new one it will just snap.
