    A seller on Ebay with a L3 dash for sale stated that you could get the LCD screens for the trip computers from VDO.

    Anyone managed to do this? I tried for some time and got nowhere fast. Ended up purchasing a complete cluster to get new LCD screens to fix the bleeds.

    It would be handy to be able to buy new ones to fix the spare trip computer I have at home.

    You used to be able to but not anymore. There was a place that specialised in a few brands including VDO on Main North Road. Not sure if its still there.

    i went to the vdo warehouse today and they said they havent sold them in a long time and they are pretty sure that if they cant get them brand new than no-one can.

    the reckon if the screen isnt working than they would be able to fix them but there is nothing they can do about bleeds.
