So the misses was driving Stacey ... much to my shagrin... yes ok an 06 WM Statesman named Stacey...
I figure, Bugger it why not, there’s also Connie Commodore but I’m not here to talk about her.
So the misses is driving along and says the digital Speedo’s Black, I thought she’d hit the light button when fumbling for lights but no.
The damn things so black it’s almost invisible!!
I’m probably looking at a new cluster aren’t I?
I figure it might be heat related because she has to be parked on the street, no garage at home.
And she’s always parked in the sun at work too.
I have a shade that covers the windscreen and side windows to keep some of the UV out but the leather still burns on a 30+ day and the radio always turns a wired set of colours like purple and blue or red or green if it’s a bad day nothing at all, I bump it any it comes up apples.
Smash the dash as I might in the most techno savvy way possible (smashes head on dash) but still dim, it’s giving me such a headache!!
Staceys only got 130,000 on her, I know she’s 12 now but is it normal that should break at those kms? I want to sell it but I can’t sell her without a clear visible mileage so money I didn’t want to spend.
If anyone knows of a way to make it work again long enough to sell I’d really appreciate it.
Mind I can’t show pics, in case one of you wants to buy it no I kid I wouldn’t sell it unless it was a fix that lasted.
She’s got a FSH, I only ever use 98% and she’s services every 7500 km plus a gearbox service every 20,000km.
So thank you for reading hopefully I’ve made you smile.
